I recieved this e-mail from a friend this morning and couldn't help but laugh a little, but oh how true it is, especially at the time I'm at right now...lol..and just wanted to share while I wait for my breathing treatment..
HOW TRUE IT IS
Another year has passed
And we're all a little older.
Last summer felt hotter
And winter seems much colder.
I rack my brain for happy thoughts,
To put down on my pad,
But lots of things, That come to mind
Just make me kind of sad.
There was a time not long ago
When life was quite a blast.
Now I fully understand
About 'Living in the Past'.
We used to go to friends homes,
Baseball games and lunches.
Now we go to therapy, to hospitals,
And after-funeral brunches.
We used to have hangovers,
From parties that were gay.
Now we suffer body aches
And sleep the night away.
We used to go out dining,
And couldn't get our fill.
Now we ask for doggie bags,
Come home and take a pill.
We used to travel often
To places near and far.
Now we get backaches
From riding in the car.
We used to go out shopping
For new clothing at the Mall
But, now we never bother...
All the sizes are too small.
That, my friend is how life is,
And now my tale is told.
So, enjoy each day and live it up...
Before you're too damn old!!
LOL, I've always heard it said just wait till the Golden years to enjoy your life, well friends I'm here to tell you the Golden years ain't for Sissies...so enjoy your life while you live it, don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today, love your family and spend as much time going and doing with them as possible. I will never regret the times I went with my kids and my Grands even when I didn't feel like it or thought I had more important things to do, like clean that cabinet or mop the floor, it will be there tomorrow the family is not promised.
Ok enough moodiness for one day.
Get well!
