Subject: Fwd: Fw: 10 commandments for the over 50s 

>
> I. ACT AND BEHAVE YOUR AGE
> Face and accept the reality of getting old, its consequences, and the
>limitations which growing old brings. Quit fooling yourself by trying to 
>look like you were in your youth. 
>
> II. MOVE ON
> Focus on enjoying people and not on indulging in/or accumulating
>material things. Enjoy life and meet new people. Do the things you have 
>always wanted to do but was unable to do so. Follow your dream and your 
>hearts' desire.....
>
> III. 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 cause even more
>trouble when you are gone.
>
> IV. LIVE IN THE PRESENT 
> 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.
>
> V. SPOIL YOUR GRANDCHILDREN 
> Enjoy and spoil your grandchildren (if you are 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 feelings 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 and babysitting are finished. Let your children 
>raise their own offsprings.
>
> VI. ACCEPT YOUR HEALTH 
> Enjoy whatever your health can allow. Accept your physical weakness,
>sickness, limitations and other physical pains. It is a part of the aging 
>process.
>
> VII. RETIRE
> Enjoy what you are and what you have right now. Stop working hard for 
>what you do not have. If you do not have them, it's probably too late.
> 
> VIII. LOVE YOURSELF
> Accept yourself for what and who you are. People, who truly love you,
>love you for yourself and not for what you have or for what you can give 
>them.
> Anyone who loves you for what you have will just give you misery. 
>
> IX. FORGIVE AND FORGET
> Forgive and forget all those who have wronged you. Forgive yourself
>and others. Forget the slights, hurts, and misfortunes of yesterday. Look 
>towards the future. Enjoy peace of mind and soul. 
>
> X. BEFRIEND DEATH
> Don't be afraid of death. It's a natural part of the cycle of life.
>Death is the beginning of a new and better life. SO, prepare yourself not 
>for death but for a new life. 
>
