Live Life to the fullest
I posted the below on my MySpace today. I think it bares repeating:
Today I watched as one of my closest friends buried her third sibling in 5 years. Including her father who died first, she has now lost over half her family. This sister was one year younger than me. All three siblings had the same hereditary lung disease and at any time the remaining four could be diagnosed, how scary.
We only have one life to live. I know that sounds trite, and talk about a cliche’ but it’s true. We need to live life to the fullest. If we’re lucky enough to live to a ripe old age, do we want to look back and think ‘man I didn’t nap enough’ or ‘dang, i sure wish i’d spent more time watching television.’ I know I don’t. I want to create memories that can never be forgotten. I think I have a pretty good start, thanks in good part to my friends. My first trip to Las Vegas, seeing the Grand Canyon (everyone needs to see the Grand Canyon once), riding quads through Valley of Fire State Park at high speed, swimming with dolphins and resurrecting my friendship with Kim and all the bells and whistles that have come along with it, Yea, that’s a pretty good start.
My list may be very different if I were to of had children, but that just wasn’t in the cards this go around. Maybe in the next life.
