Live in the Moment

-
My last blog was about time, and not being promised a tomorrow. How appropiate & timely that in today's life celebration of Kobe & Gianna Bryant, Michael Jordan spoke of living in the moment in his eulogy of those two & the other seven individuals who perished in helicopter crash last month.
Spend as much time as you can with loved ones, whenever you can. Michael didn't mention it but, his father was murdered in 1993 at the age of 56. Michael just turned 57. 

I had a dear uncle who died suddenly of a heart attack at age 58, my mother died shortly after turning 63. 

So don't say, next month, or next year if you can do it now. The old adage again, next month or year may not happen, those loved ones may be gone. 

Watch Michael's powerful speech, and God Bless Gianna & Kobe. 🙏 ✝.
