“If there’s one thing I learned,
it’s that nobody is here forever.
You have to live for the moment,
each and every day . . .
the here, the now.”
― Simone Elkeles

Today I’m reminded again how fragile life is.  My hubby’s longtime friend had a heart attack and died while fixing his roof this morning. He was in his early fifties and leaves behind his wife and five children. May his soul rest in peace!

What money can buy

A bed but not sleep.
A house but not a home.
Books but not knowledge.
Clocks but not time.
Company but not friends.
Finery but not beauty.
Food but not appetite.
Insurance but not safety.
Luxuries but not comfort.
Medicine but not health.
Pleasure but not happiness
Position but not respect.
Religion but not salvation.

“A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.” – John Ruskin
