Forward this to 10 of your friends immediately - or...

you'll turn into a frog! Every day I am part of the group of 10 people that one of the ominous emails are forwarded to, and every once in awhile I even perpetuate the madness. I can tell you from experience that none of the bad, or good for that matter, strokes of promised luck come true. (not that I don't make the wishes anyway)

So today, I get one this one that is really good and welcomed today. Soooo.... I am forwarding this to all of you! No threats of bad luck - just a wonderful message.

1. Try everything twice! Madam (of Whelan's & Madam) wanted this epitaph on her tombstone. "Tried everything twice - liked it both times"
2. Keep only cheerful friends, as the grouches pull you down (keep this in mind if you are one of the grouches)
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain go idle. An idle mind is the devil's workshop.
4. Enjoy the simple things
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. If you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with them.
6. Tears happen; endure, grieve and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life is ourself. Live while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, pictures, music, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health; if it is good - preserve it, poor - improve it, beyond what you can control - get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the country or even the next country. but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell people that you love them at every opportunity.
11. Forgive those who made you cry, you may not get a second chance.

Lost time can never be found - make the most of it!
