I gave a eulogy a few weeks ago for someone who was deeply attached to my soul.
I finished with " When we look back on our lives, our most precious commodity will have been time. Time shared with the ones we love.
Don't wait for time to be convenient, find the time, make the time, for this is what you will cherish the most."

Yep. A lot more funerals here too lately. Been two periods where they came one after another. Buried a good friend, client, town character on Wednesday. Was one of the Greatest Generation. Family allowed me to slip some cash and ammo into the urn before it was interred. A few guests were a little shocked. He would have liked that.

Me, I am definitely in the second half of the game. Life is just as I pictured it would be..... Not really. So it is not about making bank at this point in my life. My priorities are different than they were say, ten years ago. Definitely taking some time off in the next ten weeks. Family, friends, and fishing.

True words and well said,I have lost my anchor (my Dad) this year and my wife has lost two grandmother's, and as of last October my mother in law has be battling cancer S4.She whom I love dearly has a scheduled apt for the 29th for a complete hysterectomy.I wish this year was over already...
Sorry for being selfish to wish the year away but it has sucked for me,and our kids have been robbed of there parents full atention summer and family time...IMHO.

Just saying.
