HOW TO STAY YOUNG
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Try everything twice.On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph:
"Tried everything twice. Loved it both times!"
2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)
3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever...
Never let the brain get 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.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh,
spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.
6.. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
LIVE 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.

Things happening at Britannia!!!
If you haven't had a chance to drop by Britannia recently, please do so this weekend!
Artful Sundays takes place every Sunday between Aug 7-Sept 4 from 12pm-5pm and there are many artists featured on the weekend!
This Sunday, Aug 14, don’t' forget to catch the Knitting/Crochet Special where you can observe the intricate, delicate and amazing pieces literally developed before your eyes!
There'll be live music with Katheryn Petersen and Rio Samaya and also a first-ever, Knit Crochet Café run by your very own Britannia Volunteer Program!
That's right! Freshly baked food, freshly brewed Ethical Bean Coffee, and freshly made tea just like the way a sunny Sunday ought to be spent! :) All proceeds for the café go to the Volunteer Program.
This event relies on your participation! Come on down and check out the event and café or if you can spare some time, volunteer with us!
Volunteers are wanted to assist at the café, setting up, selling and serving coffee/tea, and striking, between 11:30-2:30pm or from 3pm-6pm. Needless to say, there'll be yum yums for volunteers!
If you're available and enthusiastic about this opportunity to get busy this Sunday, meet people, and share the sunshine with big smiles, then let us know!
Please let us know by Thursday, Aug 11, 4pm
Cheers!
