~`_ The Spirit of the Eagle speaks into the soul _'~

I was telling my friends, who shall remain nameless, that they should stop smoking so many cigarettes. I was telling them they are going to need some serious smoking related disease control not so later on in their lives if they don't. They say " we all gotta go somehow ". Ah, the flagrant disregard to life that youth have! I don't think they ever truly understand till they get older and more established just how fleeting life really is. One minute you are fine, the next minute you could be fighting for your life. Look at how many celebrities alone have died in just a matter of weeks!

You don't hear about all the little people, clamoring for another glimpse of hope and beauty in this world. You don't hear about the thousands who fight, with personal injury lawyers and Mesothelioma lawyers, malpractice lawyers, and all trying to get some recompense for the crazy things that happen.There are so many people who will never get to see their children grow up, never get to hear the voice of their newborn, never see the light of day again...and we don't think about what we do in our lives to affect our time on this earth.

I say live well as long as you live. Do what's right. Love your family and yourself. Spend time getting to know people...then one day when your ashes are strewn across the murky waters of existence you will be remembered in the hearts of those who's lives you touched in a special way.
