A comment on a friends Facebook post inspired this posting, it read:
Have a fantastic time. Life is way too short. Every time I turn around there is another wrinkle or pain. So grab every opportunity to live spectacularly."
I couldn't put it any better. This is not a rehearsal, this is the one and only performance. Don't wait, cemeteries are filled with people who were waiting for the perfect time to do what they wanted to do, to go where they wanted to go. Back in January of 1991 I took 9 days off, and went to Amsterdam and Paris. I was talking with my construction manager about it, and he said "we want to wait until we can go for three of four weeks and do it right." A few weeks later he died suddenly from a burst aneurysm. He never made the trip. Grab every opportunity to live spectacularly!
What are you putting off doing?
a train trip until both of us can walk/are healthy again.
ReplyDeleteI hope you travel soon.
DeleteLaundry, dishes and dusting. The list is growing.
ReplyDeleteWhy do today, what you can do next week?
DeleteI have a storage closet that desperately needs to be decluttered, rearranged and made more useful.
ReplyDeleteThere are more important things to do in life
DeleteDefinitely some home cosmetics work....and possibly another bottle of gin.
ReplyDeleteAnd sugar plums to enjoy, find the joy!
DeleteI suddenly grasped the true meaning to "this is not a rehearsal" a few years back. I wish I would have realized that in my twenties or thirties.
ReplyDeleteIf I had known then, what I know now, hindsight is always 2020.
