Young At Heart

I did not write this - but WOW does it speak to my heart!!! Worth the read.

Barely the day started and... it's already six in the evening.

Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday.

... and the month is already over.

... and the year is almost over.

... and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.

... and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.

and we realize 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 color in 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'm doing it after...

I'll say after...

I'll think about it after...

We leave everything for later like ?? after ?? is ours.

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 often too late....

So... Let's leave nothing for later...

Because still waiting see you later, we can lose the best moments,

the best experiences,

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.

I did not grow up in the Flintstone era yet The Jetsons seemed far fetched.....AWESOME but far fetched. I've been fortunate enough to see most of this come to fruition. If you are reading this and you remember watching these cartoons then you know what I mean.

We can NOT do anything about the past although we can have SOME control over our future but we're not there yet.

THE ONLY TIME WE CAN CONTROL IS TODAY.....NOW!

We have everything we need but will we take control now or lose it in the afterwards?

I know for some it is already Monday but for many of us, it's still Sunday. Time to reflect and decide what you will do. Monday....a new week, a new start? It's all in our hands. Don't let another day pass!

Our bodies may be getting older but that comes with WISDOM that needs to be shared.

Whatever you decide, I hope you enjoyed the read and have an AWESOME week!!!

Hugs
