A buddy from my old workplace just celebrated his 50th birthday on Thursday, Saturday he died. No "warning", no known health problem, nothing. Just gone.

He had just been doing the usual mundane things one does on any given day. Nothing profound, particularly heart warming, or would warrant crossing an item off the "bucket list".

Reckon my thinking right now is to live EVERY day as if it is your last. But that will likely soon wane and it'll be back to the same ol', same ol'.

I hope I can experience the love of a woman and do something worthwhile before I meet my end. I hope my unknown last day is one spent enjoying family and being a good and decent man to everyone.

Can you imagine the last memory you leave behind being some asinine argument or snarky remark?

Good luck to all of us.

TM - it is a wake up call, unfortunately most of us, me included, just let it go to voicemail.

When I spoke to my mother the other day about my dad's father's day gift, she was talking about her age and health.

Then she starts saying that she is older than she ever imagined being and has lived all one could care to live and is ready to go anytime.

It was simultaneously disconcerting and comforting to hear.

Well, the title says it all.
I'm a busy bee and when I do something, I make sure it is proactive and productive. It got to the point where it was already unhealthy. Not only to my body but also with my relationships. So, a friend whom I confided my problems asked me what will I do if I only had 24 hours left. Well, to be honest I found it hard to give an answer back. How about you?



Sera, the best advice I ever got from a doctor was this:

You can be the greatest, most respected, hustling, go getter, indispensable employee they got, but if you died today they would just have somebody replace you tomorrow.

Point is - take care of yourself AND enjoy life. If you have anytime left over, work a little and pay the bills :wink:

I watched several people spend their last minute on earth stressed by their job and drop to the floor leaving coworkers to call for help.

Life is short - Date a fat guy! ohwell Still no, huh? :laughing: Can't blame a man for trying!

What I would like to do is want to gather everyone I knew and cared for at an outside barbeque that last long into the night. I would spend the time to talk to everyone there and introduce everyone who didn't know each other. Sharing secrets and never spoken thought to those who needed to here them. Eating and drinking into the night with a huge bonfire and music. At some point I would want to slip away and craw into bed as my memories and thoughts surround me into sleep.

Impossible to do in this age where everyone is spread out and so busy in their own lives. So reality would be writing letters to everyone. The old way with paper and pen. Basking in the beauty of nature and retiring to bed with my pets sleeping around me.

I'd probably do something risky. It's my last day of being alive. I want to go out doing something adventurous. And if I physically hurt myself in the process, I was going to die the very next day, so that wouldn't really matter. laugh

I understand, I'm kinda a workaholic, so being serious in here I kinda felt and regret that I should've given more life to my past. Now I'm stuck with work 24 hours and barely have fun. Hahaha. Maybe I should date a fat guy. Lemme think. LOL

I tried to have a similar conversation with my son.

I have no plan of checking out early I just know it is possible and I wanted him to know I was very proud of him loved him and had no regrets of any size about my life.

One thing about seeing your friends and lifetime hero's starting to fade from the pages of history it does make you want your friend sto have a few shared thoughts.

One of the more painful things of ageing is looking out and seeing some with still so much youth/so much promise in life vanishing before your eyes also. Makes your heart heavy when people in their thirties and forty's seem to have given up on life and they still have so much to offer that they have yet to imagined possible.
