Life Can Be Short



A close family friend passed away over the weekend, he was young ... much younger than me and on the other side of the world it occurs to me that life can be short. We all seem to plan our lives for years to come but does that mean we disregard all the wonderful little things that are happening now.

What if you didnt have a tomorrow - what if today was it, would you live it differently?

The truth of the matter is no one knows just how long we have left and although I am guilty of wishing away weeks until hubby is home, the house is finished or even the next pay day I need to realise just how short life COULD be.

I have a challenge for everyone reading this blog. Live your life today like you dont have a tomorrow .... saying that, may you all have to many tomorrow's to count, but make sure each today does count just in case!

Hi Miss Vintage, I found your blog via B is Building a House (always looking for new blogs to read!). That's really sad about your friend, and so true what you say about how we wish away our days. Here's to not doing that any more :)

So true. It's not until you lose someone close to you that you realise just how precious life and time are. We should sieze every moment. Thanks for the reminder. My thoughts are with you on your loss. Ange
