Something to ponder

I was thinking the other day about how short life really is. I recently turned 28 and I must say that It seems to have gone by in a blur. Therefore I can deduce that the next twenty eight will go by just as quick. Before I know it I will get up one morning, go into the bathroom to shave and realize that I'm an old man. That I have less steps ahead of me then I do behind me, and I know that I will feel sad about that. But I just hope that after I feel sad I then feel happy about the choices I made. The fun I had, the things I saw, the places I went and the people I loved.

I'm not going to say "Live life to the fullest!" or "Make everyday count" because those are sayings that by there very nature we dismiss because of there simplicity.
What I would say is do what I try to do, because thats all any of us can do is try. Try not to wait to die, but try to live in order to make your death meaningful. Because a death is owned by all who live. But all who live sometimes never have a life.

So I hope that when I do "Give up the Ghost" that I can go with a smile on my face. Knowing that I at least tryed to give my all at my turn on this blue rock.
