New Year Ponderings

Each New Years Day is a reminder of the passing years and a time to reflect on how you are spending them...

Do you think you have 50 more or do you think you have 5?

If you had 50, how would you live?

If you had 5, how differently would you live?

I’m not being all negative and saying death is around the corner - but what if living a full life was living like there was only 5 left...

How would you act? How would you spend your time? What would you prioritise? Who would you enjoy time with? What fun things would you do? How much laughter could you fit in...

Dad was planning to live another 10-15 years. He made it through the 60’s and stats show the next drop off is 80’s.

He was thinking of places he and mum would live, close to family and close to hospitals if they needed them and also having shoulder and hip operations so he could keep playing golf for as long as possible...

Until one day he had to walk off the golf course after 9 holes in pain... then 12 months later was completely paralysed and passed away a few days later...

Do we live life with an attitude that we have 50 more years or 5?

Would living like you have 5 make the 50 more full?
