Just read a very sad and at the same time enlightening article by a lady called Erma Bombeck. She had recently lost her battle with cancer and this is a piece she has written when diagnosed. I have realised on a few occasions that life can be so short and an end could be so unexpected. One must enjoy all the joys and pleasures life brings and thus said I would like to note that the greatest things in life, the ones that make you really happy are the little simple things from everyday experience. One feels happy when he sais I love you or I missed you, receiving attention and affection from loved ones - that’s the real meaning of life.

It is a long and deep subject so I’d rather give you the article to read - it sais it so right, so painfully right that you immediately start thinking about the life you have and live at the moment. Here it is: If I had My Life To Live Over.
