Lunch and Learn Growing old is not for Sissies! This was the topic of the July 22 Lunch and Learn presented by John Simmons, Macclenny Nursing and Rehab. Mr. Simmons gave the group of approximately 25 members some pointers to think about as we grow older: start thinking about growing old; get financial advice; talk to older people about what's happening to you, someone you trust; talk to your doctor and pay attention to health care issues. But, Mr. Simmons, stated "You must have a sense of humor". How to Stay Young and Grow Old Gracefully:
1. Throw out non-essential numbers - age, weight, etc.
2. Keep only cheerful friends.
3. Keep learning - make yourself do something you've never done before.
4. Enjoy the simple things - calm moments, relive good moments.
5. Laugh often - long and loud.
6. Tears happen. Endure, grieve and move on.
7. Be ALIVE while you are alive - enjoy your life.
8. Surround yourself with what you love - friends, flowers, grandkids.
9. Cherish your health - be informed.
10. Dont take guilt trips - avoid the negative.
11. Tell people you love that you love them.
12. LIfe is not measured by the number of breaths you take - but by the moments that take your breath!
