Goes to show you, though, Death can strike at any time.

So it's best to try to live every day like it's your First, Last, and Every Day. It really hit me this Holiday Season. Every day is your Birthday. Every day is Christmas. Every day is the first day of the New Year. Every day is Valentines Day if you are in love. And so forth.
I was reading a book about FDR and it hit even harder, when it described his funeral. He was an older man and not in good health, no big shock there, but somehow when reading about it, it hit me--the difference between Life and Death.
One minute you are bitching because the coffee isn't fresh, you hate your job, your girlfriend is a bitch--whatever. The next you are dead. No coffee, no job, no girlfriend, nothing. Would you rather be in the grave, never able to move or talk or see the sun even, or drinking coffee with your girlfriend before work? OK sorry to ramble, things like this get me going sometimes.![]()
