Days are getting shorter

“You do get to a certain point in life where you have to realistically, I think, understand that the days are getting shorter, and you can’t put things off thinking you’ll get to them someday. If you really want to do them, you better do them. There are simply too many people getting sick, and sooner or later you will. So I’m very much a believer in knowing what it is that you love doing so you can do a great deal of it.”

  1. Love it, though it’s a bit depressing and true in the same time…

  2. Thanks for sharing this. I can’t tell you how true, scary, and kind of wonderful it is feeling and experiencing this- as Betty Friedan put it: “It’s a different stage of life, and if you are going to pretend it’s youth, you are going to miss it. There are no role models, there are no guideposts, and there are no signs.” It is however, really alive.
