Google calendar is now available for your phone. It's easy to keep track of your events in Google calendar. Have you tried it yet? You can keep multiple layers of calendars. Add your friends birthdays, anniversaries, events and get notified at your phone. The reminders will be send to you as a SMS TEXT messages. I personally found it more meaninful because e-mail reminders can't remind you because most of us doesn't use e-mail 24/7. Setting it up is fairly simple. Of course you will need to have a google account to use the popular services like gmail, picasa, gtalk, google documents and so on. Once you login to your Google calendar account just goto settings and setup your mobile phone number. It requires you to verify your number by inserting a verification code. Look at the images below.

So you can have free SMS Text reminders for all your events.

Sometimes staying young in body and mind is not possible by doing diet or whatsoever. It can be achieved by having a great time and enjoy the moments of the life. Maybe these 10 points can help to you to stay young in body and soul. In order to stay young it requires both mental and physical health. Remember a body can't live without a mind.

1. Get rid of non essential numbers which includes age, blood pressure levels, sugar levels, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, astronomy, history or whatsoever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop."

4. Enjoy the simple things in life.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

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.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family,  friends, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.

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, 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.
