Let's kick this up a notch.
"Just keep breathing."
Got that one down, so far.
Any others?
;-)

1. Force visits on your younglings :)
We want to see, you - we just don't know it.

Trust me on that one :)

2. seriously? Write down the story of your life.
no matter how silly you feel doing it.

Your great great grand children will love you for it.

My husbands grandfather wrote about 3 notebooks full, and it is one of his (my hubby's) most cherished possessions.

4. Yes... I do. (serious answer)
Get rid of all your "stuff" so your kids won't have to do it.

I'm sorry if that sounds kind of rude, but in the past few years, I've cleaned out 3 houses of family members who never threw anything away. Your kids (if you have any) will bless you for it after you are gone.

I'm starting to get rid of "stuff" now because it's going to take me awhile!

5. Yes. Start doing the things that you were afraid to do when you were 40.
If I make it to your age, that's what I plan to do.
