Sooner or later we all have to go but the knowledge of that doesn't make it any easier or make the passing of people we know any easier. I guess that is why we should live like today is our last day - enjoying all that life has to offer and not worrying about tomorrow. Easier said than done I know. I said to my Mum once, when she was worrying about going on a trip and how much it would cost. "You only live once, don't spend your last days regretting that you didn't do all you could when you could." <BR/>We can't solve the problems of the world or protect ourselves, our friends or our children from everything. All we can do is live life to the fullest and saviour the memories - both good and bad.<BR/>Hugs CatherineCalidorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118238727781108509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10668080.post-1131062187136680392005-11-04T10:56:00.000+11:002005-11-04T10:56:00.000+11:00It's awful to acknowledge mortality - but that awa...It's awful to acknowledge mortality - but that awareness does inevitably surface at some stage. My best friend's Dad passed away a year ago this month - I grew up in NZ with them as my 'family' ... always spent Xmas Day with them in the afternoons, got involved in many outdoor leisure activities through them etc, they had a huge impact on my life growing up. When Ross died it really brought those thoughts flooding in - they are the same age as my own parents (this year Dad will be 72/Mum 70) ... ever time Mum comes to visit she makes a comment to someone "you never know, it may be the last time I get to come" - and last time she was here she asked me if I wanted her heavy gold bangle, then surprised me when she took it out of her bag and gave it to me ... that broke my heart - it's almost like she's 'cleaning house' ready for "the time". I try to shut it out of my mind, and just enjoy the time that we have. I had a horseriding accident around the time Princess Di was killed, that made me sit and think about life in general and where I was going - it made me realise things can change at any moment, and to live life for today. Crikey, sorry, didn't mean to write so much! Are you an Aquarian, by any chance? Sometimes we almost seem to be going through the same thought patterns at the same/similar times :) I was just thinking a couple of days ago that I should update my Will, and what do do with my embroideries etc ... didn't last long, though - as long as the drive home, that's all LOL.Anne Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10690824664591296103noreply@blogger.com
