Barely the day started and it's already six in the evening
Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday
and the month is already over
and the year is almost over
and already 40, 50, 60 years of our lives have passed
and we realise that we have lost family and friends
and we realise it's too late to go back
So let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time
Let's keep looking for activities that we like
Let's put some colour in our grey
Let's smile at the little things in life that put hope in our hearts
And continue to enjoy the time we have left
Let's try to eliminate the ‘afters’
I'm doing it after...
I'll think about it after...
We leave everything for later like ‘after’ is ours
But what we forget is that
priorities change...
health passes...
the kids grow up...
parents grow old...
promises are broken…
life ends...
And then it's often too late
So let's leave nothing for later
Because waiting we can lose the best moments
the best experiences
the best friends
the best family
the day is today... the moment is now!

These aren’t my words and I tweaked the original a bit but it’s definitely our outlook on living life to the full.
