George Carlin's Views on Aging

 

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we

like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so

excited about aging that you think in fractions.

 

'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never

thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key

 

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back.

You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

 

'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13,

but hey , you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life .. . You

become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

 

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes

you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now,

you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

 

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.

Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH

50 and your dreams are gone.

 

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you

would!

 

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it

to 60.

 

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After

that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

 

You get into your 80's and every day is a complete

cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end

there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'

 

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100,

you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!' May you all make it to a

healthy 100 and a half!!

 

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age,

weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them.'

 

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you

down.

 

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts,

gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's

workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

 

4. Enjoy the simple things.

 

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for

breath.

 

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The

only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you

are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's

family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your

refuge.

 

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If

it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

 

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even

to the next state; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

 

10. Tell the people you love that you love them , at

every opportunity.

 

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER : Life is not measured by the number

of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if you don't send this to at least 8 people - who

cares? But do share this with someone. We all need to live life to its fullest

each day!!

Thank you very much for this virgil. I have copied it out and will read it

at least once a week. Sometimes learning about health can be very depressing,

in my opinon, and lately it seems that I have learning way too much about

cancer and candida or fungus.

many blessings
