I didn't write this but WOW does it speak to me!!!
Barely the day started and it's already six in the evening. Barely Monday has arrived and it's already Friday again ... and the month is almost over ... and the year is almost over. ... and already 40, 50, 60 or 70 years of our lives have passed .. .and we realise that we lost our parents, our friends ... and we realise it's too late to go back.
So, let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time. Let's keep looking for activities that we like. Let's put some colour into our grey. Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts. And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left.
Let's try to eliminate the 'afters': I'll do it after; I'll say it after; I'll think about it after. Don't leave everything until 'after'.
Because what we don't understand is that:
Afterwards, the coffee gets cold.
Afterwards, priorities change.
Afterwards, the charm is broken.
Afterwards, health passes.
Afterwards, the kids grow up.
Afterwards, parents get old.
Afterwards, promises are forgotten.
Afterwards, the day becomes the night.
Afterwards, life ends.
And then it's too late.
So, let's leave nothing until 'after'. Because if we wait until 'after', we might lose the best moments, the best experiences, the best friends, the best family. The day is today. The moment is now. We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done right away.

It looks like an eternity, but it's a short trip. Enjoy life and always be kind. |
