Are You Leaving Your Life?
Are you living your life or is the life leaving you? Think about that. One day at the time we go by the time. As young ones we never had to think in those terms. But as older we gets the more we think about the quality with live. Or don’t we? You can answer for your self. Do you have any children or any young ones around you? Most of us talks about how old we are supposed to be. When our kids ask us because they are in that stage how old are you going to be? We try to convince them that we are immortal. But that is not the case. Should it not be more quality then years? It is not how many years we put in to the lives it is how much quality it is in it. What is quality time for you? You have to make up your mind what it means to you. So many people out there seem to strive for as they call it perfection. But it must be in material terms they are concerned.
I was thinking of my father today that past away the year of 2005. He suffered from a stroke late 1996. He managed that one good due to his drinking problems. The doctor told us it was good because the alcohol was blood thinning. Amazing to see the man next to him was a vegetable. He had the same kind of stroke but has been a non- alcoholic, non- smoker and vegetarian for the whole of his life. My father left the hospital but had minor ones coming to him. So finally he was hospitalized. At one stage we realized he was so dizzy that we had to take him in for an investigation of his behaviours. My mother died 1985 so he was living by him self. At the hospital I brought a magazine while waiting for the doctor. My father loved to read. He told me he could not read and I gave him his glasses. No he said I can not read. Then I put on the TV and he once again said it was no use I can not read. Bang the truth hit me! I had forgotten the letters! How easy we take things for granted.
I use to think back to that time when I am reading a great book. I do like to read just as my father did. Thank God I can still read. That I can still see with my eyes. Is not life about quality then years? Just to be able to enjoy a great meal in a good company. And to sip a nice glass of wine? How about to listen to the birds singing? Watch the children playing? Be thankful to your life and live your life as it would be the last thing you did. Give thanks every day that you are healthy, be happy and tell the people around you that you love them. Life is a blessing and so are you.
