Ya. I am 51, childhood friends have seemed to be checking out at an increasing rate. You mention health and how some folks seem very healthy, you know, eat well, exercise all the good stuff, does it get them more time here on earth? I would like to think so. I stay fit! Perhaps we are allotted a set amount of time? I have missed some funerals I would have liked to go to, I suppose I should be reading the obits. I do have a good memory. I hold those moments, those grand moments when a person really displays their personality, their Spirit for all those who are close to perceive. This is how I remember my old friends, how I stay in touch with them, wherever they may be.

Reflection: Life is Fragile! Enjoy and Appreciate it While You Can!
I'd like to think good health and good eating would give us longer life, but there's always a randomness factor in there. Jim Fixx, the guy credited with "inventing" jogging for fitness died of a sudden heart attack at age 52... while jogging.
For now, I just focus on remembering and being grateful for the moments we DO have, and not taking anything for granted.

Oh man. Had a little chuckle on that Jim Fixx story. So important the Gratitude. There are some good posts reminding us of this, I was commenting for awhile on the @gratitudetrain but stopped at number five. I have been so busy as late. I guess this is what happens, we get caught up in life and forget to be grateful for all we have.
