No pity, just prayers.
I've watched, since childhood, people work hard and save preparing for the big day they will retire and "enjoy" life...
I watch men work in the office of their business from early in the day, to well after nine at night, building, planning, designing their future, all the while too busy to enjoy today.
I watched my own father work hard, eat right, walk 5 miles a day, really trying hard to have a good quality life, and he did.
He took time every day to enjoy.
A stroke out of the blue 7 years before his death left him unable to get out of bed in his last 4 years.
Walking, living, loving life one day, and then boom, it is as it was no more.
Life comes with no guarantees.
Live your dreams today, for there may be no tomorrow.

Lost a good freind to a atv accident a couple years back, bust his butt , only had 2 more years to a well earned retirement. gone.
Right now I have a freind who at 58 was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, they cant do anything about it, doctors gave him 6 months.
Hes got a good family and alot of freinds. BUT he spent every last waking moment at work. work work work work. He lived for it. now I guessing he wishes he would have enjoyed life a little bit more. we share a birhday and we would sometimes go fishing togather on our birthday. (our company has a mandatory day off the week of your birthday, nice!).
Now going fishing without him on june 22 just isnt going to be the same. I dont know if I will ever fish on the 22nd again. It will always be bills day.
