That appies to ourselves as well

I have lots of plans of where I want to be and what I want to be doing in 10 years, it doenst matter much if I get hit by a truck this afternoon. My kids will be in their thirties in 10 years. I've had pretty firm plans that went right out the window because of some unforeseen factor. We have to be our best today. Today may be out last. what I say to my kids, may be the last words they ever hear from me. I have sat with many people who are actively dying. I count their respirations and have thought many times how important each breath is. How we take a lifetime of them for granted. I think we should meet each days potential. I hear what you are saying. I also think this applies in days tha thave come and gone. Who we think we' be and who we were are only as impotant as who we are today. I have the abilty to get out of bed every single morning with no memory of yesterday and no obcesssion with the future and I can put my feet on the floor and make the day what ever I choose.
