| Fragile. I am still amazed at how fragile we are.
I know I have written many blogs on "seizing life" and "treasuring life," especially given the past few years. However, I don't feel like being overly philosophical today.
My day. I went apartment shopping. I got mad at Sam's Club. I watched Harold and Kumar. Went to a wedding. And I saw a deadly car accident that took the life of a motorcyclist.
Yeah. Random.
I'm not going to say that riding a motorcycle is a death wish (as my mother would say) nor am I going to blame the irresponsibility of an illegal left turn. People make mistakes. And people deserve a thrill ride. It's human nature. It's human.
Truth of the matter is that when it's your time there is nothing you can do about it. More than likely you will have no idea when it's coming. Which makes it so difficult for you and the one's who love you.
I can't preach "live every day like it's your last." Because you can't. You have to play the reality game. You have to go to work and school to make a living. You have to do things you don't want to do for the people you love. And instead of seizing the day you may just want to sit at home and veg watching a "waste of time" television show.
What I can preach is this: matter. Don't be a waste. Matter. Matter to someone. I went to a funeral recently and I stumbled over a quote I love: "when you come into this world you're crying while everyone else is happy and overjoyed; when you leave this world you are happy and overjoyed while everyone else is crying." When that day comes when everyone is reminiscing over your life, help them by giving them good things to say  .
Don't live everyday like it's your last, but live so that your life is full and worthwhile.
