Thank you for this post. I'm going to Stumble this, because it's a beautifully written reminder of something I try to do myself - that is, live in a way that minimizes the things I'll regret.
Ahhh, I love the dog picture. Although my dogs are much more active than that... I could send you one of them bouncing up and down with a "must take a nap, must take a nap" caption. :p
Anyway, I appreciate the thoughtful post and links. I think if we knew we'd get that same money every day, we would indeed squander our chance to use it. And then it'd be gone, and only then would we appreciate it... human nature, perhaps.
Wonderful post. I cringe at the thought of how much time I wasted in front of the TV when I was younger. Of course, like you said, there is no replay button. I can only work on not wasting any more time doing inconsequential things now that I am more aware how precious each minute I'm alive is. Thanks for reminding me.
I have one more happy quote to add to the mix, "You have a limited time to live." If I recall correctly, the American author Robert Fulghum (the "Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" guy) had this posted on his bathroom mirror.
Thank you all for your comments. Yes, its the things we don't do that we tend to regret - if we are lucky enough to live to a ripe old age and look back, I doubt we'll be saying "I wish I had spent more time watching TV and worrying!". As Maria has added with this new quote, "You have a limited time to live" - make every day count.

that is certainly a great perspective in life to have... as they say, what we have is borrowed time and that it is critical that we make the most out of it...

Jeez, every now and then I read something that lights a fire under my butt. This was one of those times. Time is going to pass until it exists no more and you're right, once it's gone it's gone. How are you going to spend the day... Planning for the future or enjoying the present (a gift).
