    Whoever said 'From the time we are born, we begin to die' must have been a barrel of laughs. With friends like him/her, who needs enemies? The saying is true, though I doubt we would write it in a 'Congratulations on your new baby' card! Doh!

      We’re born to live! In what way is questionable. I did think of writing ‘Plenty of time to do what is wrong, not enough time to do what is right.’!

      Up till now I have not found the time to die. A clever write and a fun read.

        One of my favorite quotes is from James Dean. “Dream as if you’ll live forever; live as if you’ll die today.”

        Thanks for stopping by!
