Short Stuff

If you thought your life was going to be short, how would you live today?  I don’t think I would make too much change in today until I reached acceptance of my life being short.  At my age, shortness is a reality.  I used to think I always had tomorrow or next week or next year.  Always lots of time to do what I want that gives life, or what I ignore/put off, because I don’t want to do it now.  We all have a limited number of “now” so why wait and put important things off.  You can take a really fit body from gym/exercise time to the grave, without saying thank you or telling someone you love them, much less writing a letter.  Why die with a lot of stamps in your drawer and writing paper in your desk, or FaceTime app never downloaded.  Or drunk, saying, “Tomorrow I will stop.”  That leaves a lot of collateral damage behind.
