Why Worry? There's only 2 things in life you have to worry about ...

Why Worry? There are only two things in life to worry about: Whether you are well or whether you are sick. If you are well ... then there is nothing to worry about. But if you are sick ... there are only two things to worry about: Whether you are going to get well, or whether you are going to die. If you get well ... then there is nothing to worry about. But if you die, there are only two things to worry about: Whether you are going to go to heaven ... or whether you are going to go to hell. If you go to heaven ... , then you have nothing to worry about. But if you go to hell ... , you'll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends, that you won't have time to worry!

Ten Ways to Stay Young

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her. 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," the devil's name is Alzheimer's.  4. Enjoy the simple things. When the children are young, that is all that you can afford. When they are in college, that is all that you can afford. When you are on retirement, that is all that you can afford! 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. Laugh so much that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive laughter. 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, don't put out a mailbox on the highway of death and just wait in residence for your mail 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it is 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. Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign country, but don't go to guilt country. 10. Tell the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

What Is a Gramma? (+ FamilyCircus)

I received this description in yet another email forward and thought it was amusingly cute and yet adorable! So i decided to add it to these Greetings also. A Grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own. She likes other people's little girls and boys. A Grandfather is a man Grandma. He goes for walks with boys and they talk about fishing and stuff like that.  Grandmothers don't have to do anything except to be there. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is enough if they drive us to the market where the pretend horse is, and have lots of dimes ready. Or if they take us for walks, they should slow down past thingslike pretty leaves and caterpillars. They should never say "hurry up."  Usually, Grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums off.  Grandmothers don't have to be smart, only answer questions like "Why isn't God married?" and "Why do dogs chase cats?"  Grandmothers don't talk baby talk like mothers do, because it is hard to understand. When they read to us, they don't skip or mind if it is the same story over again.  Everyone should try to have a Grandmother, especially if they don't have a TV, because they are the only grown ups who have time.

Are you an Optimist or Pessimist? - Cat on Stairs Optical Illusion

An optical illusion of a cat  claims to tell the user if they're an optimist or pessimist.   If you see the cat walking upstairs at first, it is thought that you could have an optimistic view on life. "You see potential and you see growth wherever you look,” "Your mind has been trained to look at ways of rising higher in life, so given a situation where you have the choice of rising higher than others or falling to their levels, you would inevitably be the better person. If the cat seems to be walking down the stairs, it reportedly could indicate that you are more of a pessimist and sceptic. "It may have been based on your experiences in life or just because of the sort of people you may have met that tilted your view of life towards the negative side,” The Minds Journal article says. "But this means that you don’t trust easily now, you calculate before you commit and you are wary of people who seem too sweet. "It may just be your way of tackling the world but you are much sharper and shrewd in your dealings, making it almost impossible to trick or deceive you." AI Overview: This viral photo is a famous optical illusion known as the "Cat on Stairs" debate, which went viral in 2015. Arguments for the cat going down focus on the structure of the stairs, particularly the architectural lips (nosing) and shadows visible on the risers. Arguments for the cat going up often point to the cat's anatomy, suggesting the tail is raised for balance while ascending. The image has been used in psychological tests claiming to reveal personality traits based on whether the viewer interprets the motion as climbing or descending.

Who's Packing Your Parachute?

Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason. Image Credit: Copyright: ©iStock, Credit: Colematt   Charles Plumb was a U.S. Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience.    One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk.  You were shot down!"     "How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.    "I packed your parachute," the man replied.    Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!"    Plumb assured him, "It sure did. If your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."    Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man.    Plumb says, "I kept wondering what he might have looked like in a Navy uniform: a white hat, a bib in the back, and bell-bottom trousers.    I wonder how many times might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because, you see, I was fighter pilot and he was just a sailor."  Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn't know.    Now, Plumb asks his audience, "Who's packing your parachute?"    Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.    Plumb also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory-he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these supports before reaching safety.    Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason. As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachute.     Who's Packing Your Parachute? Who's Packing Your Parachute?

Start With Yourself

In the Crypts of the Westminster Abbey, on the tomb of an Anglican Bishop, the following thought-provoking words were engraved: When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world.     As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country.     But it too seemed immovable.     As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.     And now as I lay on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.     From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed the world.   The profound, well-known text engraved on that bishop's tomb is a famous inspirational reflection on personal transformation. The complete quote reads: The well-known, often-cited quote highlights a progression from attempting to change the world, country, and family, to finally realizing the value of personal transformation: "If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family." Often falsely associated with an 11th-century bishop in Westminster Abbey, this widely circulated passage is actually of unknown origin, frequently used in motivational contexts to emphasize self-reflection.

*Grandmother on the Stand*

A small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand in a trial -- a grandmotherly, elderly woman. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy. And frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a rising big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you." The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do he pointed across he room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?" She again replied, "Why, yes I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I used to baby-sit him for his parents. And he, too, has been a real disappointment to me. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. The man can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the shoddiest in the entire state. Yes, I know him." At this point, the judge rapped the courtroom to silence and called both counselors to the bench. In a very quiet voice, he said with menace, "If either of you asks her if she knows me, you'll be jailed for contempt."

What Are Fathers Made Of?

A father is a person that is forced to endure childbirth without an anesthetic A father is a person that growls when he feels good and laughs out loud when scared half to death. A father never feels worthy of the worship in a child's eyes. He's never quite the hero his daughter thinks and never quite the man his son believes him to be and this worries him. So he works too hard to try and smooth the rough places in the road for those of his own who will follow him A father is a person who gets angry when the first school grades aren't as good as he thinks they should be. He scolds his son though he knows it's the teacher's fault Fathers are person that give daughters away to other men who aren't nearly good enough so they can have grandchildren who are smarter than anybody's Fathers make bets with insurance companies about who'll live the longest. One day they lose and the bet's paid off to the part of them they leave behind I don't know where a father goes when he dies. But I've an idea~~that after a good rest~~he won't just sit on a cloud and wait for the girl he loved and the children she bore. He'll be busy there too repairing the stairs oiling the gates, improving the streets, smoothing the way....

How the Zodiac Signs Age :)

(This artwork is part of the "Zodiac Signs in Old Age" series by Russian artist Olga Gromova.) Due to their personality traits, strengths, and weaknesses, each zodiac sign experiences age differently. And for some, it doesn't manifest at all.     ♈ Aries (Ram): March 21–April 19 Aries prefer not to notice their own age. They live in the moment and don't think about what tomorrow holds. Their cheerful spirit sustains them with the immense energy of youth well into old age. Aries might not be wearing a leather jacket at 60, but they'll still be passionate about motorcycles. And they'll do so with the same zeal and frenzied energy as before.     ♉ Taurus (Bull): April 20–May 20 Taurus loves to eat well, sometimes even too much—for this reason, they often gain a fair amount of excess weight as they age. As they age, stubborn Taurus becomes even less flexible, both psychologically and physically. Nevertheless, they have good stamina, and even despite illness, they are likely to live a very long time.     ♊ Gemini (Twins): May 21–June 21 Geminis set goals in their youth and gradually move forward, showing no signs of slowing down as the years go by. Don't expect a Gemini to come home early from work. Even in old age , you won't see them lounging in front of the fireplace. Their career growth will continue until retirement and, if possible, long after.     ♋ Cancer (Crab): June 22–July 22 Cancers come in two flavors: those who never grow up, and those who love to care for others in their old age, like Mother Teresa. Cancers, like Leos, desperately want everyone to respect their "noble gray hair." Cancers can make excellent "classic" grandparents, something most grandchildren aspire to be.   ♌ Leo (Lion): July 23–August 22 Leos are naturally indulgent and sedate, and this will become increasingly evident as they age. By old age, they are already quite calm, seasoned, and dignified individuals. They will increasingly desire universal respect, authority, and sometimes even worship, as well as serve as a primary role model—for this reason, they will strive to achieve their main life goals and settle down as early as possible.     ♍ Virgo (Virgin): August 23–September 22 Many Virgos begin to perceive the world around them increasingly negatively as they age, especially if they allow their excessive critical tendencies to lose control. They love to maintain excellent fitness and good health, and are constantly striving to improve their mental performance. Therefore, they typically enter old age as smart, well-groomed gentlemen and ladies, albeit somewhat stern, yet very intelligent.     ♎ Libra (Balance): September 23–October 23 Libras are always concerned about their appearance, so they'll go to any lengths to prevent extra pounds and wrinkles from appearing on their faces for as long as possible. They're usually successful. Even at eighty, Libras will convince others they're not even forty yet.     ♏ Scorpio (Scorpion): October 24–November 21 Scorpios become dignified and imposing in old age. They like to think of themselves as philosophers who have accumulated a wealth of wisdom over the years, and indeed, this is true. Unfortunately, however, older Scorpios often become overly fixated on personal beliefs and goals, to the point of obsession and stubbornness.     ♐ Sagittarius (Archer): November 22–December 21 Like Aries, Sagittarians avoid thinking about old age at all costs. Sometimes it becomes an obsession, and they pester others with questions about their estimated age, hoping to garner a few compliments. However, these compliments are usually always justified, as Sagittarians, despite their reluctance to take care of themselves, manage to maintain their sex appeal and attractiveness well into old age.     ♑ Capricorns (Goat): December 22–January 19 Capricorn is a sign that is largely associated with time, as it is ruled by Saturn, the planet responsible for time and its passage. But what's interesting is that for Capricorns, time seems to flow in reverse. Capricorns are born as "little old men," serious beyond their years, wise and responsible, but as they mature, their character becomes increasingly playful and childish, and by old age, Capricorns behave like absolute children.     ♒ Aquarius (Water Bearer): January 20–February 18 Aquarians are strongly influenced by Saturn , so in childhood, like Capricorns, they are very serious. As they get older, Aquarians become increasingly eccentric, no longer caring what others think of them, and at 80, they can behave exactly as they please.     ♓ Pisces (Fish): February 19–March 20 Pisces are terrified of old age. They fear so much time left to live, so much left to do, so much left unfulfilled! This is precisely why Pisces often take the time to review their life, calculate their savings, and compare balances. The less Pisces worry about this, the longer and happier they will live, because nothing shortens and depresses life like constant worry.     It matches, doesn't it? Show this to everyone, let them read and analyze the behavior of their grandparents, and let them know for themselves what awaits them in the future!
