My two cents

A friend of mine's girl friend lost her daughter this weekend. She left two little ones behind and yes they will be taken care of well. She didn't know she was sick a month ago. Last year, a gal I knew from work went home on a Friday and suddenly died on Sun. My little boy asked me one time if I was scared of anything. Fore the sake of not starting a long conversation I told him no but I am afraid of one thing. Not seeing him grow up and helping him along his way. DON'T put off today because there may not be a tom. Do right by others. Help them when you can. Love your children and by all means, live life to fullest. Drive it like you stole it. Happy Holidays. I am about done Xmas shopping too. Thats right about done well my better half had something to do with it.lol

During the summer I had a really bad fainting spell one morning when I got up out of bed. Turns out I had a quick drop in my blood pressure. But it really scared the crap out of me. I thought I was dying. Now that I think of that morning, I kinda of smile to myself because of some of the insane things that crossed my mind as I was trying to keep from fainting. Like trying to change into presentable clothes in case the ambulance had to pick me up, even though my whole body was numb and I could barely move. And of course I had to grab my cell phone to delete some emails I would never want my kids or mother to see. Seriously though, the next day when I was feeling better, the first thing I did was get all my important papers in one place and in order, and then I wrote out notes to the people in my life. As for living life well and too the fullist, I think I have always done that, except for maybe being super careful because of my two daughters.
Good reminder though, Catfish101.

good post robin. i did the same thing with the paperwork in march just before i went in for my valve job.
the thought of going under and not waking back up scared the hooey out of me. i now don't let anything bother me, and follow all those rules except one.
i don't drive like i stole it anymore. i now take it easy and enjoy the sights.

life offers no guarantees, no replays and no pretense of being fair. You get one shot at it so why not do your best to make it as good as possible .... and enjoy the doing.
