Enjoy your life while it is happening to you.
I got an e mail from my best friend. She and I met in Jr. high school. We were not really friends in high school but became very good friends when she moved back to our home town and have been best friends every since.
I got an e mail that said her husband was in the hospital. He woke up Tuesday morning with a bad headache. He got dressed for work but laid back down on the bed. When she came out of the bathroom, he had passed out and she had to call an ambulance.
Something in his brain has burst and the doctors don't think he will ever recover.
On Wednesday, he received his 2nd social security check in his checking account. It will probably be the last one he will ever get.
I feel so sorry for my best friend, having to go thru all this. Thank goodness, she has a large family and church family to help out in her time of need.(she lives a long way from me)
Enjoy your life!

My aunt died of one in her 20s/30s. What a shock. She just keeled over one day. Life can be short. Good post.
As sad as it was it really changed the way my family lived, and we tried to start enjoying more while we were alive. As tragic as these things are, they are good reminders to live while we can.

Now, if I don't want to do something, I don't.
SO's mom comes to town and wants to have dinner out...hmmm,I don't think so. You go dear. Life is just too short for me to have to suffer through any avoidable discomfort.

I so agree with you. Life is too short to be angry, hold grudges, and just to not be happy (at least content).
Thank you for sharing and reminding us of what a privilege it is to wake up everyday.
