Life is short, and sometimes through no fault of our own, circumstances
beyond our control, there isn't enough time to fulfill what we had planned and
dreamt of. Each day is precious and not a moment should be wasted. The saying
"don't put off tomorrow what you can do today" comes to mind, and I
pretty much live my life in this vein. If you have a dream, don't put it on
hold, waiting till the children are grown or you retire. Seize the moment and
pursue your dreams. I have lost two brothers, one due to a tragic accident, another
to ill health (Gaucher and Parkinson's disease) and although it has been some years
now, the grief of losing siblings at far too young an age, stays with me like a
sore gash that will not heal. My heart aches as if a very part of my soul has
been wounded and not a day goes by that my brothers don’t enter my thoughts.
Losing someone close has made me painfully aware of what is important and the
things that matter most. Unconsciously my husband and I have made the decision to
enjoy everything whilst we can, and not wait till later in life, for who knows
if there will be a "later". We embrace life now, live in the moment and
don't worry about what we don’t have, but enjoy the things we have been blessed
with. If you have a dream that you can realistically pursue, don't delay, for "time
and tide wait for no man".
