The thin line between life and death.

Two weeks with good news and bad news, two weeks of a new beginning and end of a life, a very close friend to the family passed away last week, for no reason just cause he had a cold, I was shocked when i heard the news, the heart breaking part is that he was engaged to be married this summer, and his fiancé was away for work, when I heard the news i realized how short life is and the thin line between life and death, it’s scary but its part of life, and as scary as it is we have to accept it and life goes on, its hard at the beginning but we always manage to move on.


Now it’s the new beginning part, I have another new job. I know that I have started a new job few months ago, but it did not work out very well, in fact, I hated it. I am very grateful with this new job, because it is something that I always wanted to go back too. I think that god was watching over me, cause the past few months I was angry at myself because of a very bad decision that I have made. but now all is good cause I found what I always wanted and I am so grateful, the only bad thing about the new job is that it is still far from where I live, almost 40 minutes drive every day back and forth, but I got use to it so I am not complaining I am just venting.

Amazing how in two weeks so many things could happen, people die and live, or go away to start new beginnings. Life is a constant change that never ends. It’s shocking how we go through life without realizing this fact, even though it is right in front of us. We only see it when something very bad happens to us like “death” but then again we manage to move on and forget about it until some other disaster happens in our lives. Even though we see it every day in the news, we choose to forget it because it is not affecting us. I think that we should always remember that, that day would come where there will be no sun shine anymore, so we should be happy with what we have and appreciate every second of the day and night. Look at the stars and moon and always treat a new day as if we are born that day and that its going to be our last day on earth no matter how old we are. So enjoy life to the fullest!

Slow Dance!

This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer...


Have you ever watched kids on a Marry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down, don’t dance so fast.
Time is short, the music won’t last.
Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask how are you, do you hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head?
You’d better slow down, don’t dance so fast, time is short, the music won’t last.
Ever told your child, we’ll do it tomorrow? And in your haste not see his sorrow, ever lost touch, let a good friendship die cause you never had time to call and say “hi”.
You’d better slow down, don’t dance so fast, time is short and the music won’t last.


P.S: Sometimes we do take our lives for granted we better start enjoying it cause we never know when it will be taken away from us....
