Life is Short

     Finding out yesterday that my long time friend had passed away just added to my intentions of living each day to the fullest.  Life is short.  Very short.
     Do you remember when you would look at people and say "man they are old" and really they were only like 40?  I remember those days.  I was young and dumb.
    We all say "if I could only do that over again".  We only have once people.  There is no "do over".  Life is what you make it ...  NOW.
      Have you forgotten how to smile?  How to enjoy the gifts God has given us each day?  Today may be the last day of your life... and mine.
     I have always been told that I had a "wheel in my butt"....those of you who KNOW where this expression came from .....  go ahead and laugh...hahaha.....
     Have you seen the commercial lately where the guy is handed a memo stating "you will have your heart attack tomorrow"?  Doesn't happen like this guys.  What would you do TODAY if you were handed that memo?  Think about it.
     My friend Mary gave me this cute little plaque for my birthday a few years ago that simply states:


"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE!"
     That's me.




     'Nuff said.
