Life is short

People of our generation are pretty fragile as we are all in the sixties or seventies.We never know what lies ahead of us in the immediate future.Old people should never be left alone as in their fragile state they can fall, slip and fall or just fade away without anyone knowing.It is not uncommon to hear of the seniors passing away in their sleep or just going off.For the seniors I guess preparations would have been made so that when they leave this world all their affairs are taken off and the descendants need not be burdened by unnecessary  headache,
Sometimes , despite the best preparations things are left aside unintentionally..Take the case of a golfer who was taking shelter during heavy rain and a tree fell on him , killing him.Suddenly he is gone at a young age and I am sure all his affairs would not be in order as how would a young man expect such a thing to happen.
Life is short.Be thankful that we are up and about and can enjoy a little of what life has to offer.If we have the means and the good health enjoy food once in a while without excesses, enjoy the time we have with family , friends and relatives.No point having all the money in the world and dont know how to use it.There are people who have lots of money not realizing that it is just paper if not spent.I never forget what a relative once told me " He has so much money when he passed away and sadly he cant even take one note with him ".Saving is fine but not at the expense of depriving yourself of what life has to offer >It is not indulging but there are things which we may want to do at this ripe old age  like travel, buy the things we always wanted and helping others in need.
Life is short and as we near the end of life's journey we should have the right attitude towards life and remember that we should not only leave our footprints on the sand but on the stone where they can last for a long time.
