Musings of a Mortal

By KennyRiley

Carpe Diem....

.... Or in other words "Seize the Day"!

I was driving thru Kelty today when I came across this wonderful artwork painted on the side of a building.

It's a picture of a young, up and coming Scottish boxer, Connor Law, who, tragically and unexpectedly died at the age of 26.

He had this phrase" Don't count the days, make the days count" tattooed on his leg.... Its a quote from Muhammad Ali.

And it got me thinking that the quote is so apt for the times that we are living thru today.

Naturally we are all counting the days when we can return to some sort of normality.... Whether it be meeting family for a meal or a drink or being able to head off and to enjoy a holiday or even travelling further afield to visit friends who we have not seen for a long time!!

But in the meantime, are we making the most of the days that we have? Taking time to learn a new skill or picking up that book that you always promised to read but "never had the time" or even contacting an old friend who we haven't spoken to for a long time.

We will never know what tomorrow may bring, but maybe, we too can "Make the days count!"
