Life Goes By In a Flash

Life goes by in a flash is a
famous quote/ saying. The
longer I live on this earth 
I’ve found that quote/ saying 
to be true. This year 2020 
has made a believer  out of 
me. I’ve seen so many people 
pass away like never before.
( Family, Friends, Celebs,
Strangers).Due to COVID-19 
and other things. All these 
things remind that life is fragile.
However, it will always be what 
you make of it. So live it to the 
full.Make your mark( in whatever
capacity that is).Because life 
really does go by in a flash.Try 
to give your flowers to the living 
while they can still smell and 
appreciate them. And I will try to 
do likewise. While I’m still able to 
smell the sweet scent of the roses.

I agree dear Alexis. Been a fast and hard year. We lost so many. I agree. Better to send flowers to the people alive and near. Show them we love and we care for them. Thank you for sharing the worthwhile words and thoughts.

Very tragic the death of Chadwick Boseman, a touching remembrance and reminder that life is short, we never know what will happen tomorrow, take advantage of each moment, love the sentiment!

wiser words to live by Alexis - I smiled regarding the flowers have told hubby and son I want no flowers at my funeral - if they cant give them to me when I'm alive they are no bloody use when I'm dead! Live every minute to the full we never know when it will be our last:-( hugs Jan xx
