In order to truly enjoy life, one has to recognize how fleeting it is, and seize the moment to do those things that are most important to them. A couple days ago, one of my favorite uncles unexpectedly died of a heart attack.
My uncle was our family's historian; he knew the births, deaths and marriages of everyone, and he was the person to call if you needed an address for an obscure aunt or cousin you hadn't spoken to in years. He was also a computer whiz; any problem with computers, he could solve it. And he made my aunt happy.
This past week, I've heard of a new mother losing her newborn and healthy baby to SIDS; and a man who had the best years of his life ahead of him had them taken away too soon. Work will always be there; and if it's not, you'll find another job. Don't let that be the excuse for not taking advantage of life.
Enjoy life to its fullest now. Life is fleeting and tomorrow is not promised.
