First Times and Last Times

Just a couple thoughts about the notion that there is a first time and a last time for everything…

• From my grandfather: “When you sit down to dinner, look at those faces around you and cherish that moment because there was a first time and there will surely be a last.”
• The next time “busy” becomes a burden, go to a nursing home. Hang around with some people who have nothing to do all day. “Busy” will look good.
• One of the great lessons that children teach us is the immediacy of “now.”

First times and last times. In they’re own way, they are both now.
