Some things in life are certain and one of those things is death. Death is a taboo subject and we prefer not to dwell on the subject for many reasons. It may be sad memories that the word evokes or simply having to accept the inevitably of it all.
What death should tell us, is that life, however long we’re given, is precious. If you were told that you would die tomorrow, what do you think you would you miss the most? It will undoubtedly be something simple, even silly. Your morning coffee. Walking your dog or a hug from someone dear to you. What experience has shown me is that tomorrow is never guaranteed and our carriage may reach its final destination at any moment and without any warning. Buy that funeral plan so that those you leave behind don’t struggle more than they need to…and then forget it. Hug those dear to you at least once today. If you love someone, tell them. It’s good to have a plan for the future but don’t think that it’s guaranteed. The small stuff will still be there after we’re gone so don’t overthink it and go and enjoy that coffee.
