Re #3 - well yesterday may be gone, but it's still fun to us, eh?

Ten Commandments for Seniors
>> things.
>>
>> 2. Plan to spend whatever you have saved. You deserve to enjoy it and the
>> few healthy years you have left. Travel if you can afford it. Don't leave
>> anything for your children or loved ones to quarrel about. By leaving
>> anything, you may even cause more trouble, when you are gone.
>>
>> 3. Live in the here and now, not in the yesterdays and tomorrows. It is
>> only today that you can handle. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may not even
>> happen.
>>
>> 4. Enjoy your grandchildren (if blessed with any) but don't be their full
>> time baby sitter. You have no moral obligation to take care of them. Don't
>> have any guilt about refusing to baby sit anyone's kids, including your own
>> grandkids. Your parental obligation is to your children. After you have
>> raised them into responsible adults, your duties of child-rearing or
>> babysitting are finished. Let your children raise their own off-springs.
>>
>> 5. Accept physical weakness, sickness and other physical pains. It is a
>> part of the aging process. Enjoy whatever your health can allow.
>>
>> 6. Enjoy what you are and what you have right now. Stop working hard for
>> what you do not have. If you don't have something, it's probably too late.
>>
>> 7. Enjoy your life with your spouse, children, grandchildren and friends.
>> People, who truly love you, love you for yourself, not for what you have.
>> Anyone who loves you for what you have will just give you misery.
>>
>> 8. Forgive and accept forgiveness. Forgive yourself and others. Enjoy peace
>> of mind and peace of soul.
>>
>> 9. Befriend death. It's a natural part of the life cycle. Don't be afraid of
>> it. Death is the beginning of a new and better life. So, prepare yourself
>> not for death but for a new life with the Almighty.
>>
>> 10. Be at peace with your "Creator". For He is all you have after you leave
>> this life.
Thanks Diana J.
