"George Carlin's Views on Aging"
By: George Carlin
IF YOU DON'T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE.
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, even ham radio. Never let the brain 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.
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 county; 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!!
Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting "...holy crap ...what a ride!"

THE POWER THAT HEALS
The Power That Heals is an exciting explanation of the
"secrets" of what it is that really "heals" us. In an
entertaining way, George Fleet, Jr., the President of the
Concept-Therapy Institute, incorporates the principles of
healing as taught in the Concept-Therapy Instruction, to
give you a "birds-eye" view of the answer to the age old
question of "What Really Heals?". This is truly a "must
read." ($7.95)
TYPES OF PERSONALITIES Have you ever wanted to just look at a person and tell what
hr or she is thinking? Well this booklet explains that all of us are basically one or more of 5 different types of personalities and each personality type has a distinct way of viewing the world. Once you are able to determine the personality type of the individual by simply looking at the shape of the head, the body and the hands and compare it to the descriptions in the booklet, you will be able to "read their mind." Is it really that simple? Purchase the book and find out for yourself.($12)
Selected Writings of Rev. E.L. Crump I Reverend E.L. Crump, a pioneer Concept-Therapy Instructor, combines his knowledge of theology as a Methodist Minister with his expertise in science as an Electrical Engineer to bring you 45 selected vignettes in Volume 1 of his writings. Each little story explains how this melding of science and theology will aid us in understanding this wonderful mystery called life.
