the man who waits till tomorrow misses the opportunities of today.death is an uncomfortable subject. not sure why. but when it comes into a life so early. a marriage so young. it is a conversation we should all join.
in the past few weeks I have learned of the lost of a former classmate. and a professor. and the husband of a friend. the latter strikes me hardest. although none are easy to fathom. but the situation of my friend, who retired just the week before to spend more time with her spouse, is heartbreaking.
do we learn from these life lessons? do we slow down. talk. hold hands. say I love you. with any more frequency? I hope we do. I know we can. I hope we will.
don’t put off till tomorrow. always kiss me goodnight. stop and smell the roses. dance like no one’s watching.
let’s practice and let’s preach.
peace.
