Dear Bertha,

I'm reading more and dusting less. I'm sitting in the yard and admiring the view without fussing about the weeds in the

garden. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time working.

Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experiences to savor, not to endure. I'm trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them.

I'm not 'saving' anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special event such as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, or the first Amaryllis blossom.

I wear my good blazer to the market. My theory is if I look prosperous, I can shell out $28.49 for one small bag of groceries. I'm not saving my good perfume for special parties, but wearing it for clerks in the hardware store and tellers at the bank.

'Someday' and 'one of these days' are losing their grip on my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now

I'm not sure what others would've done had they known they wouldn't be here for the tomorrow that we all take for granted. I think they would have called family members and a few close friends. They might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend fences for past squabbles. I like to think they would have gone out for a Chinese dinner or for whatever their favorite food was.

I'm guessing; I'll never know.

It's those little things left undone that would make me angry if I knew my hours were limited. Angry because I hadn't written certain letters that I intended to write one of these days. Angry and sorry that I didn't tell my husband and parents often enough how much I truly love them. I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter and luster to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, tell myself that it is special.

If you received this, it is because someone cares for you.

'People say true friends must always hold hands, but true friends don't need to hold hands because they know the other hand will always be there.'

 

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance
 
That is really lovely - brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for posting it Tanya. :huggles:

One to really make you stop and think about what is truly important in this life. We should not forget that life is not a dress rehearsal and we only get one chance at it. :wub: :huggles: :wub: :huggles: :wub:

all are welcome at the totty towers

Makes you think though that does!! I still have 'best' china etc - WHY? Thanks for sharing that :huggles:
 
That's all very true. I've always said lifes too short for dusting & ironing :- "

Years ago I really wanted a dog, in particular a dalmatian but we kept putting it off, maybe next year etc. Then someone told us the story of their aunt & uncle. Apparently this couple had saved every spare penny over the years, they did without nice things & little luxuries. They were saving up so they could have the cruise of a lifetime when they retired. So the years went by & they saved up every spare bit of cash but had no fun at all.

You can probably guess what happened, yes of course the auntie died & the devastated uncle never went on the cruise of a lifetime :(

All that wasted time & all those small fun things they never did.

We got our Dalmatian soon after that :D
