Time....
How much time do I have?
Should I panic now....
Make the most as if I have none left
Or live as if I have a long way to go...
I can't decide if this or that is true
Or if it was, what difference it makes to me
I am here, am I not? Finding my own way through
How shall I live, how should I be
The sands of the clock filtering down
In total disregard of what I do
They care not a bit of what I say
Nor if I can in a moment do anything for you
Sifting sands - the bottle turned
We can claim at the end only memories
Take with us nothing we have earned
And continue on with our own journeys
-With no apologies or explanations - but yes! I'm alright.

From: NJ where fun comes to die
When we are first growing up, we can't wait to be teenagers, and then we can't wait to be driving and legal to drink. Then we bump into things until we become middle age. And we realize time is running out on what we had planned. OK I guess I will just coast until retirement. Then we sit around until we rust apart, and check out early. Who wants to be 100 you ask. Just ask someone who is 99. At 60 I think I am about half way. I work hard everyday. I run a jack hammer, pour concrete, and and anything else the younger guys do. I believe if you keep at it, you will keep at it longer.
Plan for the future like you were 25, but live everyday like your last. Time stops for no one. We all get a chance to roll a seven. Nobody escapes it. What will your life count for? Will there be hundreds of people at your funeral, or will the funeral home have to pay people to come to make it look good?

Mind only knows what lies near the heart
It alone knows the depth of the soul
No worse ill assails the wise than to be
without Inner Peace.
Wise in moderation should each one be - not overwise.
Their fate beforehand no one knows;
the soul is thus carefree.
No one is unhappy in all things though their health
be poor: one is blessed with children,
Another with friends, a third with full barns,
A fourth with good deeds.
All from the Havamal
