"Never forget that time passes so quickly
you don't even notice it until it begins to
show. So, use the good china, go on the
trip, eat the cake, watch the late movie,
read your favorite book and take a chance
in life. Tomorrow is promised to no one."
~John M. Sweeney
Maybe it has something to do with being
71, but it seems to me I'm hearing this
message more and more. It's a good call
and I intend to answer it!
Thinking here, what's my happy list?
Sit under my fave tree with my guy!
Might even add in the iced margs!!!
Eat out once in a while at my fave
Mexican restaurant! Take a drive and
stop at that unexpected place calling
out my name! Write a special note
or letter, send a card . . .
Maybe I'll make up a new list, naught
too extravagant, you understand! Take
in a campground and stay over night.
Try out an unknown place for the first
time, albeit a walk, a picnic or a shop.
Visit rather than be visited!
Is this where I swear to LIVE rather
than EXIST?!
"Do whatever it takes to bring a smile to
your face each day. Eat the cake. Watch
the Christmas movie. Take a bubblebath
in the middle of the day. Cover your house
in lights to bring the joy we so desperately
need. You need laughter. You need light."
~Donna Ashworth
