No more Mr Procrastinator
Filed Under uncategorized
I am a self-confessed procrastinator, my motto is: Why do now what I can do tomorrow, or preferably the next day.
This is mainly for things I don’t want to do, I hate doing things because I have to, and rather do things because I want too.
But saying that, I still have a long list of personal things I’d like to do, ambitions included, like performing a mentalism act in front of strangers.
After yesterday though that will change, I realized life is too short and you need to do things as you think of them because that tomorrow may not come.
Yesterday after the wedding party had left and everything was once again quiet, I was outside and said hello to a neighbor who was walking his grand son around the corner so the boy could play with another kid.
I went inside and shortly after there were paramedics outside, another neighbor was performing CPR on the neighbor I had spoken to earlier. He has had heart problems but yesterday while watching his grandson and friend play he collapsed. Unfortunately he died despite all the efforts.
It is sombre around here as you would expect and people are bringing flowers and some are in the area where he died. It seems weird to have spoken to someone and a few minutes later you find out you’ll never speak to them or see them again.
Made me realize you have to take advantage of today, because as I said, tomorrow may never come.

The kid playing with the grand son was upset because he thought he did something wrong. They explained that the guy had a sick heart and it wasn’t his fault.
Wow.
Something like that really makes you want to get to work on your “bucket list”.

What a tragic event! As for the “tomorrow may never come,” I’ve lost several friends and wish I had had a few last words with them. After losing the last friend, I wrote a number of people and told them I love them. It’s important to say today what you might not have a chance to say tomorrow.

Yes it still seems weird that he won’t walk out the door and say hello.
