Live your dreams, because you're a long time undead

Today's subject under the microscope of life is death. A strange focus for a Thursday perhaps and no, I'm not terminal - other than terminally lazy on the odd occasion perhaps.

But we're all entitled to a bout of feet-up time. After all, as my grandma used to say, we're a long time dead.

And that little nugget of wisdom, said in jest, contains the most telling of truths. We really do need to grab life by the whatsits and live it to the full.

Otherwise, your gravestone may read; 'Here lies Fred / Freda Bloggs. Fond of saying; "I'll do it tomorrow." Unfortunately he / she died the day before.'

Always assuming the engraver gets round to it of course.

I'm as guilty of putting things off as the next person.
