Yesterday, the wonderful Kathy at cardiac rehab said to me
Life is short
when we were discussing my long-lived wish to live the rest of my short life near a beautiful body of water.
Whenever somebody says
Life is short
I agree with that person, even though I’ve lived much longer than most people expected I would.
To me,
Life is short
means
- seize the moment,
- don’t waste time,
- do what you love,
- spend time with good people,
- enjoy yourself,
- don’t settle for less,
- take care of yourself,
- be mindful,
- balance your needs with other people’s needs,
- do what works,
- accept and experience all your feelings, and
- appreciate the here and now.
What does
Life is short
mean to you?
Here are the pictures I took yesterday when I was seizing the moment, not wasting time, doing what I loved, spending time with good people, enjoying myself, not settling for less, taking care of myself, being mindful, balancing my needs with other people’s needs, doing what worked, accepting and experiencing all my feelings, and appreciating the here and now:
Because life is short, I won’t keep you much longer, but here’s a short song with lots of life.
Short thanks from this short person to all those who helped me write this short post and — of course! — to you, for improving my short life with your short visit, today.
