Ok, I'm on a roll tonight - sorry! But not having a social life can do that to a person.
In my last post I wrote about leaving an impression, which made me think of a poem I got in my email a long time ago. I was lucky enough to find it again.
TOMORROW NEVER COMES written by Norma Cornett Marek in 1989
Looking back on my life I can't say that I am proud of it or that I have accomplished anything. It is certainly MUCH different than I anticipated! But I hope, at the very least, I leave an indelible mark when I am gone ( I hope I still have a loooooooooooong way to go yet!)
Do you ever think what you would say to your friends or your family if you knew it was your time to pass over? What if it was their time? What would you say? How would you feel? How would you want them to feel? Were there things you should have done? Were there things you regretdoing? Was there someone you truly loved and never told them? If you knew what you know now, would you go back and do it over? What would you want your obituary to say about you? What did you accomplish with your life?
I know this seems morbid to some, but hear me out. You're not gone yet. There is still plenty of time to do all those things you think about. All those regrets and woulda, shoulda, coulda's. can still be done. Yes you can still sit there and make excuses for why they cannot be done. But when it is your time, will you look back and be satisfied? Granted somethings are out of our control - if you are blind, I would recommend studying to become a brain surgeon - but then again....
Life is what WE make it. It is our life, let's make it the best one ever!
