I just got the news today. Doctor says my illness has taken a very serious turn, and tomorrow may never come and suggested that I get my affairs in order, now.
All of a sudden things come into focus. I have strained relationships with my family in which I need to correct or leave the wounds open on both sides. I haven't even told my significant other how much I love and appreciate her because I 've been so busy. I haven't stopped long enough to smell the roses. I've even neglected helping others when I could have quite easily.
That favorite hot dog I used to eat once a week sounds even more delicious now that I may never have one again. I haven't even taken the time to take that nice selcuded nature walk in the beautiful outdoors nor seen the sunset over the horizon.
That sweet little child I see outside every morning who's hello I've ignored, sounds so selfish now. Actually in retrospect, I see that my whole life has been pretty selfish in all honesty. I've done little to improve myself and the environment in which I live. I am devoid of most human accomplishments and anything of which to be proud. I've wasted my time here and the truth is now staring me straight in the face.
So little time and so much to correct but you know what, it do or die, literally. But I decide to do it now. It took all this to bring me upright and face the harsh realities of my life.
It's only upon this revelation of time that I awaken and discover it was all a dream, or was it. Perhaps it is a second chance to right the wrongs and become a human being with feeling s and awareness of fellowman. Without a doubt, life begins anew today, right now as I start the next day of the rest of my life...
