"Dying to live"

I found this the other day... it made me think.

"First, I was dying to finish my high school and start college

And then I was dying to finish college and start working

Then I was dying to marry and have children

And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so I could go back to work

But then I was dying to retire

And now I'm dying...

And suddenly I realized I forgot to live.

Please don't let this happen to you.

Appreciate your current situation and enjoy each day

... old friend.

To make money we lose our health,

and then to restore our health we lose our money...

We live as if we are never going to die, 

and we die as if we never lived."
