Seize the moment, it never comes back.

Hell people worry about getting whipped by aussie

Feels too familiar does it?


Hey, I do very little whipping these days.

You are here for a good time. Not a long time. Lifes too short to not do what you want to do. Take it from a personal experience, you could go to work in the morning, and die on your way home. Make sure you don't leave without doing things that you want to do.

i will forever regret not getting my cell phone fixed and txting a close friend when i got home from canada. i, like many others, thought there was forever. less than a week after my return, she was murdered. now, she lives only in my memory. when i saw a photo of her today in a magazine, i had to really struggle to recognise her. the photo was not of the person i had in my memory.
and the same with all those that have passed in my life. one friend died about a week after i went away after visiting her for 6 weeks. it took me a long time to stop blaming myself, as i somehow thought she had stayed alive to spare me the heart ache, and that if i had stayed, she would still be alive. i still think that now, and am honored i got the chance to meet her.

I've been looking at this thread all day.... something else I live by, and which I have on a necklace is...

"Live, love and laugh"

Live your life the way you want to, don't have any regrets, and "seize the moment" - and again, Die with Memories, Not with Dreams.

Love like you have never lost, love everyone in your life as much as you can. Heck, even love those that have hurt you, as they make you into a better person...

Laugh until your ribs crack - there is no better medicine to a situation than laughter. A smile can diffuse any situation, and can sure as hell pull you through one.

Bad stuff in your life is just poison, you gotta suck it up or suck it out... coz we all know what poison does.. it kills ya.

I have a magnet on my fridge, it has been there many years. It says " Live each day as if it's your last, enjoy the moment, forget the past" and I try to do that.

I lost my best friend to cancer 11 years ago, she was 38 and had been battling the disease for 8 years. She left behind a devastated husband and two young daughters. Knowing Jan and sharing her journey taught me so much about what is actually important in this life. I make an effort to tell my loved ones every day that I love them. My children tell me they love me as I do them everytime we talk on the phone. I have been known to ring my friends and make the effort to tell them how important they are to me and how much I value their freindship, thinking on things a bit today, perhaps I should make more of an effort to do this.

There is no time for regrets in this life. I was estranged from my father for many years before he died and I did not make the effort to make contact with him. He died before I "got around to it". My choice, I live with it, and surprisingly dont carry a huge amount of grief over it. It was how things were with us.

Nice thread!
