Carpe diem.
Time and tide wait for no man.
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may…
These are three different ways to say roughly the same thing. They seem so obvious and so trite that it’s hard to turn them into guiding principles for daily living, yet that is exactly what they should be. I keep forgetting and then Death comes along and takes another person, this time a coworker. I will miss her. Her death also reminds me that I haven’t been living my life the right way.
It’s time to take Time more seriously.
