Fleeting thoughts

Visible to anyone in the world

If we have been taught anything by the 'Lockdown' it is the importance of connecting with one another in a real way, no false smiles please...  That life is terribly fleeting and we should treasure every moment.  Fill it with love and laughter.  A wise person once said the biggest regret is often not for what you have done as you near the end, it is the regrets for things you did NOT do which make for a miserable old age.  So if you are planning to return to a job you hate, live a life you are bored with - look for something new.  Take a chance.  Dare to do something different. Get out of your comfort zone. 

It is not so much that life is fleeting as it is fleet footed and tomorrow you may wake to find a decade has passed whilst you were procrastinating. I mean, it was only yesterday we went into lockdown, yesterday George Floyd was killed, yesterday, yesterday.  Yesterday.
