Am I The Only One? I Have Been An Everyday Worry-er For As Long As I Can Remember. Yes Maybe I Do Take Life A Little Too Seriously. I Have Recently Began Re-Thinking My Life. I Was Reminded Last December How Short Life Really Is. One Thing I Have Come To Realize Is There Will Always Be Things I Cannot Control. I Have Always Been The Kind Of Person Who Likes To Fix Situations. Instead Of Worrying About Today, I Find Myself Stressing About Tomorrow. Yet I Have Always Been A Firm Believer In Being Prepared. However In Most Cases That Takes Money. What Happens If The Refrigerator Quit Working? Appliances We Find Ourselves Dependent On, Will Eventually Quit Operating. Nothing Is Made To Last A Lifetime.
My Brother And I Found Ourselves In A Short Conversation About Warranties Of A Roof. He Commented About Getting A Roof With A 75 Year Warranty. We Both Know Neither Of Us Will Live That Many More Years, So Why Do We Need A Warranty Beyond Our Years? Maybe Because We Are More Concerned With The Longevity Of Our Homes Than What We Should. You Think The Next Person In Line For Your Home Appreciates The Care You Put Into The Home? I Would Have To Say Yes. The Man Who Owned My Home Had Put New Siding And Windows. He Even Put On A New Roof. Yes I Do Appreciate His Effort. However His Motives Were To Dress Up The House To Sell It. It Worked For Him.
Recently I Have Experienced Changes In My Life. Adapting To Change May Be Some Of My Problem. Whatever Is My Problem, I Need To Remind Myself Each Morning When I Get Up, I Cannot Save The World.
If I Were To Die Tonight I Would Be Very Disappointed In How I Lived My Life. I Could Have Been A Better Husband. A Better Son Or Father, Brother. More Of A Friend To Others. I Feel I Am Being Rushed In Life. It's Like My Life Is Moving Faster Than What It Should. Time Is Moving Swiftly. I Can Sit And Reminisce From Years Past And It Does Not Seem That Long Ago. It's Funny How Life Is Though. As A Kid I Don't Remember Me Ever Wondering What My Life Would Be Like When I Was In My Mid 50's. I Bet It Seemed A Lifetime Away. As A Child I Looked At My Grandpa As An Old Man. Today I Am Older Than What My Grandpa Was Back Then. I Assume My Grandchildren Must Think I'm Old. Am I?
I Know I Have Already Lived More Than Half My Lifetime. Knowing This Maybe It's About Time I Made Some Positive Changes In My Life.
Look At Today Being A Present. It Should Be A Present From God By Giving Us Another Day Of Life. Life Is A Gift And We Should Treat It Respectfully. We Should Plant Memories For Others Lives. It's Not All About You! Living It That Way I Consider Selfish. My Grandchildren Will Have Their Memories Of Me Like My Children And My Friends. I Have Those Same Memories Of My Parents Throughout The Years.
If I Manage To Change My Life And Live For Today, My Future Days Will Be Better. It's A Step In The Right Direction. So Live And Love. Smile. Let There Be No Question About How You Feel Toward A Person You Love And Respect.
Be Kind. After Watching A Full Evening Of People Who Didn't Have The Chance To Make Changes In Their Lives. Their Lives Were Gone In The Blink Of An Eye.
Life Is Good. I Need To Keep Reminding Myself Of This.
Condolences To All Those Families Effected By The Disaster Of 9-11. May God Bless Each Of Them.
