Seize the day.
Life isn't a dress rehearsal.
You only live once.
Living well is the best revenge.
Can't take it with you.
Life is short.
I have a poster framed with those words outside my bedroom door and see them every day before I face the world. Every so often I'm reminded of how valid the sayings truly are.
+++++
I took a vacation day Friday to be trackside and around the sport and people I enjoy the most. While I was gone from the office, one of my managers had some things he needed at work and left me a voicemail and email to hopefully get with me when I returned. They were important and he stayed at work late Friday nite to line up what he needed this week.
On Saturday, he was in a life threatening motorcycle accident.
On Sunday, he had extensive brain surgery.
On Monday, the doctors asked his family how long they wanted to continue life support.
On Tuesday, he was gone.
Today, I worked to have grief counselors onsite Friday for our employees and his associates.
Tomorrow, I'll prepare a eulogy speech for this weekend's services....and next week, he'll be gone forever.
I didn't know him that well, but his urgent email & voicemail seem so trivial now that I don't even remember what they were for...and it doesn't matter anymore.
Live like there's no tomorrow.
