Barely the day started and... it's already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday.
... and the month is already over.
... and the year is almost over.
... and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.
... and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.
and we realize it's too late to go back...
So... Let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time...
Let's keep looking for activities that we like...
Let's put some color in our grey...
Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy
with serenity this time we have left.
Let's try to eliminate the afters...
I'm doing it after...
I'll say after...
I'll think about it after...
We leave everything for later like ′′ after ′′ is ours.
Because what we don't understand is that:
Afterwards, the coffee gets cold...
afterwards, priorities change...
Afterwards, the charm is broken...
afterwards, health passes...
Afterwards, the kids grow up...
Afterwards parents get old...
Afterwards, promises are forgotten...
afterwards, the day becomes the night...
afterwards life ends...
And then it's often too late....
So... Let's leave nothing for later...
Because still waiting see you later, we can lose the best moments,
the best experiences,
best friends,
the best family...
The day is today... The moment is now...
We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone
what needs to be done right away. And, so I am sharing.
Thank you, Lorraine Merdjan Kushynski.

"it can be said of him, as of few men in like position, that he did not fear the weather and did not trim his sails, but instead, challenged the wind itself to improve its direction and to cause it to blow more softly and more kindly over the world and its people..." E.B. White 1963.
...
On this day we honor the work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we would also like to celebrate the work of Coretta Scott King who founded The King Center to educate on nonviolent social change and build #thebelovedcommunity.

Thank you, Elenor for taking time from your busy day to comment with your always kind words. Please take good care of yourself and your family.
What a wonderful piece! Archie seems like the kind of person one would want to know or meet. :-)
Thank you, John. Yes, I like his face and smiling eyes.
