4. yeah, but it would be wise to seek a second opinion!!
I am referring, of course, to the man who was told that he had cancer and did the same thing, only he ran up his credit cards, destroyed his credit and then was told that they made a mistake- he was going to live!

I am a firm believer in living for the moment and enjoying the present. You never know what life is going to throw at you.

While driving to work on Saturday, one of the major streets was blocked off. I asked the police officer about it and he told me that there had been a fatal accident. I couldn't get it off of my mind all day- I was hoping that it was no one that I knew, as I work in that area. I found out later that it was this young man on one of my routes that I deliver mail to. He was in his mid thirties and had a wife and a little boy. THis is so terribly sad. It seems that he was just going out to the new Starbucks in the neighborhood and had been slammed by a truck.

I was told that I had a medical problem a few years ago- not fatal, but life altering. I have always had this philosophy, but it has become a little more intense. I don't want to have any regrets on what I didn't do. And being a Democrat, I naturally treat people well.
