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 county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people 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.

Pearls of Wisdom
If Allah (SWT) answers your prayers, He is increasing your "Faith"; If He (SWT) delays, He is increasing your "Patience"; If He (SWT) does not answer, He has "Something better for you"
“Whoever proposed to the world, then the world would not be satisfied until he gave up his Deen as dowry.” [Mâlik ibn Dînâr]
Child of Adam, sell this world for the next and you will profit from themboth. But do not sell the next world for this one, or you will lose themboth. [Ibn al-Qayyim]
The World is three days: As for yesterday, it has vanished,along with all that was in it. As for tomorrow, you may never see it. As for today, it is yours, so work in it. [Hassan al-Basri]
"I looked at all friends and did not find a better friend than safeguarding the tongue. I thought about all dresses, but did not find a better dress than piety. I thought about all types of wealth, but did not find a better wealth than contentment in little. I thought of all types of good deeds, but did not find a better deed than offering good advice. I looked at all types of sustenance but did not find a better sustenance than patience" [Umar(RA)]
The best awareness is for a man to have self-awareness. And the best knowledge is for a man to stop at the limit of his knowledge [Shaykh Abdullah Adhami]
The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: ""Blessed is the person who God has made a key for good and a lock for evil." [Al-Tirmidhi]
The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: "O God, grant me life as a poor man, cause me to die as a poor man and resurrect me in the company of the poor." His wife asked him why he said that, and he replied: "Because (the poor) will enter Paradise (before) the rich. Do not turn away a poor man even if all you can give is half a date. If you love the poor and bring them near you, God will bring you near Him on the Day of Resurrection." [Tirmidhi]
Whoever desires to have an increase in his sustenance and in his age, should join family ties.'That is, he should fulfil the rights of his next of kin and assist them physically and financially according to his ability. (Bukhari)
Rasoolillah (SAW) said: "Whoever wishes to (enter Paradise)...should treat people as he wishes to be treated by them." (Muslim)
