A big 'un ...LIFE!
So ...Dave Bow, Rickman and now Tezza. Plus a mate o' mine went the same way last week after a blood clot hit his brain 2 weeks after a leg break.
Made me think ...each and every day to always try to..
be true to my soul, be playful, inclusive, sexy, spend time with those special people, hold hands, hug, have no regrets, dance like everyone's watching, never ditch or abuse that which is most precious, keep work in perspective, listen to proper tunes, always live life with compassion, passion, humour and style and to fill my time with as much friendship, kindness, laughter and fun as I can muster, savouring and embracing those beautiful, special moments and nurturing a past juicy enough to

The Mind is Willing: great comment C! Wow - taste and experimentation - bring it on! lol 😉😋🙂x
...Juicy enough to remember the taste each time it is recalled and powerful enough to want me to make more of those memories and experiment with more of those experiences. I read somewhere "friends are the family we choose" how true! 🙂😉
Miss T: Now that is a great signature Miss T!🙂
Ben Rinnes: love this Ben ....so true..let's all bounce!🙂
Bit late in joining this thread but I liked this seen recently on a birthday card
"Life is not about how fast you run, nor how high you climb, but about how well you bounce".
I *try* to live my life by the following rule, even though it's very hard at times. It's actually my signature on a few forums I use... "Happiness is only a smile away". (So in other words, banish that frown and keep on smiling!)🙂🙂🙂 Bestest wishes to you all.xx

Thea: you're dead right! 🙂
Here, here! Amen.🙂
Life isn't about waiting for storm clouds to pass it's about learning to dance in the rain🙂
Let me share the text message I had last week from a very good friend of mine, who is n early 40's, never drink or smoke: "Exactly 3 weeks ago I had cardiac arrets out of blue with brain seizure and liver bleed. 2 weeks I was in ICU and now I'm in normal ward. No one had any hope that I couuld make it, but miracle does happen. Recovery is slow but look forward to many more beautiful days in the future." God bless her and her family.... Never know what happens tomorrow so be happy every day. 🙂
landranger68: 😀😀😀🙂
TrotOn: many thanks 🙂
cliff walking: nice one Cliff, love that sentiment and hope to see you again before too long 🙂🙂🙂
Remember, one who takes the higher, longer, uneven path
Is indeed wise.
For their ale will taste closer to heaven! 😀
Carpe Diem: Well said. Your words are better than any attempt I would make, so I won't.
Just back from a slippery MTB ride and need to appreciate the risks versus the safety. People of our age don't want to be breaking legs. Feelings go to your lost friend with secondary complications.
He who walks in a straight line,with eyes fixed on the horizon,fall down bloody big craves😋.
....complete the unfinished thread as you see fit! ..Mine was supposed to say ...nurturing a past juicy enough to look forward to retelling to those who get it 😋🙂😋
