Sitting with my 75 years old friend. He was sitting and smiling and I asked if there was any particular reason and he started laughing. I wondered and asked again if something was there. HE smiled and said I want to be happy! See I do not have much time left to be happy. May be few years, few moments or I can’t say. let me be happy as much as I can. So what makes you happy! Sitting with you he joked. Reality is, sitting with him was so heart warming. It was so enlightening. It was so positive. Still what’s special about sitting with me. He was laughing and said it’s life. Every moment is so beautiful which I have realized now when I am old and I look back and see how beautiful everything had been with all the good and bad.
Remember when you were in job running around in tight schedule and you looked at your kids you said that this is the best time of life. Just have fun for your kids. Same way when we are this old, we realize everytime had been the best time of life. We just do not realize. When we are in 20s, we do not have to worry about body strength, we can work all day long and night long, we have friends, we do not have to worry about what we are eating, body takes it all. Then in 30s there are few restrictions and it is pretty late by the time we realize that and then we have money. We have good family and stable friends around us. Hopefully less break ups hahahhaha.
When we are older than that, we have better quality of life! Everything had been beautiful even with all issues. So realize this cherish all before you do not have time to cherish it! And it made all sense why he was so happy and laughing all the time. He was enjoying and cherishing everything and everything was good even if it did not look that good.
So let’s be grateful and happy about everything now. Cherish every moment of life now. It’s pretty great if we sit and realize it.
