Gift of Being Alive

?? In the latest whatsapp message making its rounds... There is a poignant reflections on life by someone who has died.... Therein was something wise to live by and to live on... The young ones are much too busy and have too much on... The old ones should realise with the wisdom of the years.. Being old, we have been through all kinds of life's many tears... Being older and wiser, we should be mellowed with those struggles won.. We spare a thought for our young ones we see struggling one by one..... Patiently we await their celebrations each time they triumph over an obstacle.... We're the lucky ones with soul partners to share in memories where possible... We are the old ones, experiences and memories all rolled into one... Jia You! jia you! is a popular Chinese rallying cry ... But when you are old and wiser, there would have been many highs... Just be thankful and glad, you are up and about still full of life.... To greet each day and savor life's greatest gift .......of being alive!.. @@@A little dedication to a wise old man of 105 who penned some worldly advice on patience and understanding for the younger generations managing their families...
