Well, Christmas time is here! Sitting here just doing nothing, sipping on a wonderful 21 year old Scotch, wearing the very appropriate Santa Stampede shirt. Watched it snow on and off all day. Drove around last night and looked at lights until the roads started to get a little too slick.
A friends recent Facebook post made me think back on a question. The post I saw says:
Just a reminder-- life is way too short not to tell the people you love that you love them. You never know when tomorrow won't come.
The question that was posed to me a while ago, was why I decided to go with the name "Running Like There's No Tomorrow". Why would I want to run if there is no tomorrow, what's the point? Well, it's simple. You just don't know when that next tomorrow won't come. And I'm not talking about life or death, although that does hold true. You just never know what is next that could stop and prevent you from doing what it is you love. I could step and slip on ice tomorrow and so severely hurt something that I may never run again.
A lot of things have been put into perspective and I've learned so much over this last year. In the scheme of things, we are very small, and the time that we're here isn't that long. But we can accomplish amazing things in that time, both for ourselves, and for our friends, family, and fellow human beings. Take in every minute and make it your best. Tell those around you how much you appreciate and love them. And remember, that in what ever you do, you're never doing it alone. Even if that person is not there physically with you, you never, NEVER, are fighting alone.
Rob, you are an inspiration!!
