THE SECRETS OF OLD AGE…

Bí mật tuổi già
TO THOSE OF US WHO ARE ALREADY THERE
AND TO THOSE WHO WILL SOON BE THERE.

Gởi ai đã và sắp đến tuổi già.

The Secrets of Old Age
Before middle age – Do not fear!
After middle age – Do not regret!
Enjoy Your Life While You Can

Bí Quyết của Tuổi Già

Trước tuổi trung niên- Đừng sợ hãi !

Sau tuổi trung niên – Đừng tiếc nuối !

Hãy tận hưởng cuộc đời lúc nào có thể

Do not wait til you cannot even walk just to be sorry and to regret.
As long as it is physically possible, visit places you wish to visit.

Đừng đợi đến khi chân hết lết nổi, rồi mới tiếc nuối.

Khi nào thể lực còn cho phép, hãy đến thăm những nơi mình thích.

When there is an opportunity, get together with old classmates,
old colleagues & old friends.

Khi có cơ hội, hãy họp mặt với các Ông, Bà bạn già.

The gathering is not just about eating; it’s just that there is not much time left.
Họp mặt không chỉ để ăn uống; mà để tận dụng khoảng thời-gian-chẳng-còn-lại-bao-nhiêu.

Money kept in the banks may not be really yours.
When it is time to spend, just spend, & treat yourself well as you’re getting old .

Tiền gởi trong Ngân hàng chưa hẳn là của bạn. Khi có dịp cần tiêu, thì cứ tiêu, & hãy đối xử tốt với chính mình vì mình đang mỗi ngày một già đi.

Whatever you feel like eating, just eat! It is most important to be happy.

Thích ăn gì, cứ ăn! Điều quan trọng là bạn cảm thấy hạnh phúc.

Food which are good for health – eat often and more – but that is not everything.

Thực phẩm tốt cho sức khỏe – ăn thường xuyên và nhiều- nhưng không hẳn chỉ ăn có thế.

Things which are not good for health – eat less and once in a while – but do not abstain from them totally.

Thực phẩm không tốt cho sức khỏe – thỉnh thỏang ăn một chút – không nhất thiết phải tuyệt đối kiêng những thực phẩm này.

Treat sickness with optimism. Whether you are poor or rich,
Hãy chữa bệnh bằng sự lạc quan. Dù bạn giàu hay nghèo.

Everyone has to go through the birth, aging, sickness and death.

Mọi người đều không tránh khỏi Sinh, Lão, Bệnh, Tử.

There is no exception, that’s life. Do not be afraid or worried when you are sick.

Không có ngoại lệ, đời là thế.

Đừng sợ hãi hay ưu tư khi bạn trở bệnh .

Settle all the outstanding issues before hand and you will be able to leave without regret.

Hãy sắp xếp trước mọi việc và sẵn sàng ra đi không nuối tiếc.

Let the doctors handle your body,God handles your life & loves you, but be in charge of your own moods.

Hãy để các bác sĩ chăm sóc sức khỏe cho mình, để Thượng Đế chăm sóc cuộc đời và yêu thương mình, nhưng chính mình phải làm chủ tâm trạng mình.

If worries can cure your sickness, then go ahead and worry.

Nếu sự lo âu có thể chữa khỏi bệnh cho bạn, thì bạn cứ lo âu đi!

If worries can prolong your life, then go ahead and worry.

Nếu sự lo âu có thể giúp bạn sống lâu, thì bạn cứ lo âu đi!

If worries can exchange for happiness, then go ahead and worry.

Nếu lo âu có thể đem đổi lấy hạnh phúc, thì bạn cứ lo âu đi!

Our kids will make their own fortune.

Con cái sẽ tự gây dựng nên gia sản của chúng.

Look After Four Old Treasures

Hãy lo gìn giữ Bốn Báu Vật của mình

1. Your old body – pay more attention to health, you can only rely on yourself on this.

Thân thể mình – cần chú ý hơn đến sức khỏe, chỉ mình biết sức mình hơn ai hết.

2. Retirement funds – money that you have earned, it is best to keep them yourself.

Quỹ hưu trí – tiền do bạn làm ra, nên giữ cho chính mình là tốt nhất.

3. Your old companion– treasure every moment with your other half,
one of you will leave first.

Người bạn đời – hãy trân quý từng giây phút sống bên nửa-kia-của-mình; rồi một trong hai nửa sẽ ra đi trước.

      -Philosophy For Old Age : George Carlin

Comedian George Carlin on aging!
  

IF YOU DON'T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE! 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, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's family 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 you love that you love them. At every opportunity!

ALWAYS REMEMBER

Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by moments that take our breath away.

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 shit ...what a ride!"

Wonderful words indeed.

Cheers.

The Best Of Times

The Best Of Times is a memorable look back at the 1950’s and 1960’s and should be entertaining to watch for anyone that grew up in that era. Since I was born in the 1960’s it was a little before my time but I still enjoy the music and looking at the muscle cars as I’ve always had a thing for the oldies since I was a kid. If you like this be sure to watch

-The Best Of Times Part One :

The Best Of Times Part Two is a memorable look back at the 1950’s and should be entertaining to watch for anyone that grew up in the 1950’s. I’m not a music expert but I’m pretty sure some of the songs featured are from the 1960’s. Still, if you like Rock and Roll Oldies I think you’ll enjoy this video.

The Best Of Times Part Three is another great look back at the 1950′s and 1960’s and should bring back fond memories for anyone that grew up in the 1950′s. It was a little before my time but I still found it fun and entertaining to watch.

THE “BACK NINE” OF LIFE

I FIRST STARTED READING THIS & WAS READING FAST UNTIL I REACHED THE THIRD SENTENCE. I STOPPED AND STARTED OVER READING SLOWER AND THINKING ABOUT EVERY WORD. THIS IS VERY THOUGHT PROVOKING. MAKES YOU STOP AND THINK. READ SLOWLY!

AND THEN IT IS WINTER

You know. . . time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.

But, here it is… the “back nine” of my life and it catches me by surprise….How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that “I was only on the first hole” and the “back nine” was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.

But, here it is…my friends are retired and getting grey…they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me…but, I see the great change…Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant…but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we’d become. Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore… it’s mandatory! Cause if I don’t on my own free will… I just fall asleep where I sit!

And so…now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though I’m on the “back nine”, and I’m not sure how long it will last…this I know, that when it’s over on this earth…it’s over. A new adventure will begin!

Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn’t done…things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I’m happy to have done. It’s all in a lifetime.

So, if you’re not on the “back nine” yet…let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don’t put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether you’re on the “back nine” or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life…so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember…and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!

“Life” is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one.

LIVE IT WELL!

ENJOY TODAY!

DO SOMETHING FUN!

BE HAPPY !

HAVE A GREAT DAY

Remember “It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

LIVE HAPPY IN 2013!

LASTLY, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:

~Your kids are becoming you……but your grandchildren are perfect!

~Going out is good.. Coming home is better!

~You forget names…. But it’s OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!!

~You realize you’re never going to be really good at anything…. especially golf.

~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don’t care to do them anymore.

~You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed. It’s called “pre-sleep”.

~You miss the days when everything worked with just an “ON” and “OFF” switch..

~You tend to use more 4 letter words … “what?”…”when?”…” ???

~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it’s not safe to wear it anywhere.

~You notice everything they sell in stores is “sleeveless”?!!!

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

~Everybody whispers.

~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet…. 2 of which you will never wear..

~~~But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!

Stay well, “OLD FRIEND!” Send this on to other “Old Friends!” and let them laugh in AGREEMENT!!!

It’s Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived.

TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU’VE EVER BEEN, YET THE YOUNGEST YOU’LL EVER BE, SO ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS.

Life isn’t about Surviving the storm

but learning to Dance in the rain.
