"life is a journey. We start without any choice (two people get together) and ends without our choice.
We have to enjoy the trip, every moment of it, however long it wants to be. People who wait for the destination will almost always loose.
Life is happening while we are making plans".

This is something that a wise man, a role model for me, said recently. True, we don't have a choice to start it and we do not have a choice where and when we come here. We do have a choice in all stages of life, even when it seems like we don't. Every time I think about my life and the events in my life, I think about those that have already left us, those who have bigger challenges, and those who take things for granted. "Stuff" come and go.
Let people we love know that we love them and be kind to everyone. Hate, dislike, anger, sadness take a lot of energy. Smile, respect, laughter, good thoughts are easier. Good thoughts, good deeds and kind words. Faravaha
