Today , Dwee's world would like to remind all to take time to LIVE ! ! !

A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package :
..
"This , he said isn't any ordinary package . "
..
He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box .
..
"She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago . She has never put it on , was saving it for a special occasion . "
..
Well , I guess this is it . He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house , his wife had just died . He turned to me and said :
..
"Never save something for a special occasion . Every day in your life is a special occasion ."
..
I still think those words changed my life .
..
Now I read more and clean less .
..
I sit on the porch without worrying about anything .
..
I spend more time with my family , and less at work .
..
I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to , not survived through . I no longer keep anything . I use crystal glasses everyday . . . I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket , if I feel like it .
..
I don't save my special perfume for special occasions , I use it whenever I want to . The words 'Someday. . . ' and 'One Day. . . .' are fading away from my dictionary . If it's worth seeing , listening or doing , I want to see , listen or do it now . . I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning , this nobody can tell . I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends . . She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels .
..
I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese , her favourite food . It's these small things that I would regret not doing , if I knew my time had come .
..
Each day , each hour , each minute , is special . Live for today , for tomorrow is promised to no-one .
