a free verse of sorts....
(not to be confused with FREEBIRD!!!!)
today.
I am watching hockey today.
and drinking a few beers.
well, tonight really.
focus bruce....
today.
it is really all we have.
well, and beer, too.
we plan for tomorrow,
dream of the someday,
and hope for the future.
it all comes down today.
i was watching hockey one year ago today.
and enjoying a beer
it is what i do.
with a lot of my today's....
one year ago today I discovered a tumor.
one year ago today my life completely changed.
one year ago today, i stopped looking 5 years ahead.
and all the other beers i did not have.
and started focusing on today.
and the beer in front of me.
i hope i have a lot more today's.
and a lot more beers.
but i will be happy with the number i have already shared.
with all special people in my life.
and hey....
at least i did not discover flesh eating zombies...
that would REALLY suck.
just another day in paradise
just another dog in puppydise..
Hi Bruce - very touching post!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on enjoying today...what else is there! You hit this one out of the park...and all while still drinking a beer! (smiles)
Big Hug, Jenny
There is no better way to live in the present than to have a few beers whilst watching some hockey! :) Hugs, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThis year has just flown. I am so happy to have had you as my friend and to have (virtually) watched those hockey games and had those beers with you.
ReplyDeleteYou are a survivor, there will be a lot more beers, a lot more hockey and a lot more friends in your future.
We should always live for today because no one knows what tomorrow could bring.
Goooooo Wingggggs !!!
Beer = happiness
ReplyDeleteHappy 2012!
Love this post Bruce! I really did!!! I live for retirement, which apparently is about 30 years away! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteBeen there...scary stuff...but you do learn to live only for today...hugs to you..
ReplyDeleteBeer has a habit of making a person feel many things both good and not so good although I do not drink beer can't stand the taste.....lol
