Last  night I talked with a friend from Pakistan for over 3 hours THANK GOD it wasnt my phone bill.
Anyway he was discussing the turmoils of living there and dealing with life.
When we first met 3 years ago he was a thriving lawyer full of ambition and drive. Since then he has been arrested thrown in jail and his wife was murdered.
All because of a man who in control of the country wanted the justice system to be what he wanted...well enoughof the politics crap
He asked me this question...if you knew that everyday when you awoke from your slumber that it might be the only day you have left to live...how would you live it...
I thought about this and I realized that if we did live like that day to day how much better life would be. We wouldnt be in a rush or have road rage...I know I would take more time to tell those that I love them.
My new resolution is to live each day as it is my last..for in truth we are not promised tomorrow.
So to those on this forum that have been there for me..who have laughed and cried with me...I love you...and I thank GOD for you
and to the newbies blessings
Have a great day and pay it forward

Hi, Pattye.
Have you ever heard the country song, "Live Like You Were Dying"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xSGLZd9Vg4
Blessings,

I've thought of this often in light of my DH's past medical mysteries. I would spend it with my family and holding my DH, DS, DD, and DGS (grandson) close to me. We would travel back home to my family farm and just spend the day laughing, loving and eating. Well, they would any way! LOL
