A bit of prose to make you stop and think….
READ THIS VERY SLOWLY…. IT’S PRETTY PROFOUND.
Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, don’t have it on their schedule, didn’t know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.
I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back.
From then on, I’ve tried to be a little more flexible.How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn’t suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word “refrigeration” mean nothing to you?
How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched ‘Jeopardy’ on television?
I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, “How about going to lunch in a half hour?” She would gas up and stammer, “I can’t. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, It looks like rain.” And my personal favorite: “It’s Monday.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together.
Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect!
We’ll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Steve toilet-trained. We’ll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet. We’ll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.
Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litan y of “I’m going to,” “I plan on,” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”
When anyone calls my ‘seize the moment’ friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you’re ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of
Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It’s just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process The other day , I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.
Now…go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to.not something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night? Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask “How are
you?” Do you hear the reply?When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head? Ever told your child, “We’ll do it tomorrow.” And in your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say “Hi?
When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift.Thrown away. … Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over.

Oh snap out of your permanent disguise and give us a smile… yeeeeeeeeh rooooland :lol:
my head unlike yours is not empty
your not as desperate for approval as pete
but that aint saying much
for the record i never smileBeyond the cemetery gates
Looking up a door opens
There you are, smiling right down to your toes,
At me.
It just isn’t possible that we won’t
And we hold hands tightly
Climbing cemetery gates
Watching local wildlife cry
Just knowing.
Every part of me
Every inch of you
Together
It didn’t matter what we did
Where we went
What we saw
Winning at the races
Finding cross eyed tigers
Sitting in a car park
Or not doing anything
Just being.
I waken from a nightmare
Trembling
You pull me close
Gently, oh so very gently
And I fall asleep again
With both of you
Imprinted in memory.
How could I not love you
No matter what fate throws at us
For I will never forget what happened
Just beyond the cemetery gates.
couldnt have put it better xxxx
