When the lust for life is stronger than the fear.

[mad_andy]

This was going to be a long, rambling post about my day, and how blessed I feel to be working hard at two jobs I love. And how I can't even be bothered to worry that it may well go tits up at some point, as things have tended to do over the last couple of years when I've been happy either personally or professionally.

But the distress of someone I consider a friend has led me to rethink. So what I wish to share with you, dear flist, is this:

Life is too short. Live for the moment, cherish every damn second and squeeze every drop of experience, joy, satisfaction, emotion and knowledge out of it. Love your friends and forgive your enemies.

And never forget to stop and smell the roses.

*Hugs the whole bally lot of you*

She did all that. And the roses in her garden were her pride and joy.

Thank you, Andy!

It sometimes takes tragedy to appreciate the things that truly make life worthwhile. As long as you remember that each day, and each person, is a unique gift then you will never live with regrets.

Although some are gifts you would like to return - unopened.

That's a good motto. Though for me, it's hard to think like that. I guess I tend to dwell on things for way too long. Probably trying to think of a way to change what's already happened. Obviously I know you can't change the past but it still comes back at me every so often. Anyway, I'll stop rambling on your journal and get back to work ;)
