You know...I am still not too sure about this blogging bit....but I probably need to give it a go...hopefully my writing skills will evolve with time and I could end up making sense. I am not sure what I have to say...whether I will chronicle some fun in my life or just babble...I've always wanted to write...so maybe a short story here and there...who knows...maybe I will forget my password and never get back on.....sounds more like me really....anyway...something happened the other day...and I thought I would start there...
I was talking to my ma the other day and old age came up...she said I should do stuff while I was still young....funny at 50 I don't really consider myself all that young...mind you not all that old either...at any rate....I instantly answered back...if I ended it all right now...I don't think I have really cheated myself out of anything or missed out on anything...I have had a heck of a life to date.
Recently...to celebrate fathers day I gave my dad a small picture to hang over his bed, with what I think is a fairly good adage...I guess for pa it was to remind him that despite the curves he has been thrown in his life, there is still alot to live for...both in what is to come and memories of the past...maybe for me...it was to remind me to make the best of what I have for as long as I can and to continue to fill my life the way I have.
The saying by an anonymous source...
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Its those moments in my life so far that make me think that I have had such a full life...I may not have travelled the seven seas....or visited the wonders of the world...but I have taken my breath away so many times and more importantly...stopped to realize that I took my breath away...that to me is a full rich life...and...I am living it...
Maybe the only wisdom I will ever impart on my children and anyone else who may want to listen....to expand on a sport phrase....
Just do it....but remember that you did it for the rest of your life...and you will be full.
I'll be back again....thanks for reading....
