"Live Life to the Fullest"

I like to think that "living life to the fullest" is one of my mother's adages. I know "in order to have friends, one must be a friend" is one of her sayings. In the light of my friend's death from cancer, and the young man's car accident which caused the stroke and left him brain dead, that life is fleeting and unpredictable and that I must live it to the fullest. This idea was reinforced by a forward that I received today. I am taking action. I have emailed my son and suggested some dates that I can visit him and take him and his friends out to dinner to celebrate his promotion and raise. I have vowed to face each day with an upbeat disposition in spite of those small annoyances and aggravations that get in my way.
