Just want to share an Email I received from my wife.

Recommended Posts

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 every day... 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;

She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food. It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come.

I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters... that I wanted to write

'One of these days'.

I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't say to my brother and sisters, son and daughters, not times enough at least, how much

I love them.

Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives.. And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day..

Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

If you got this, it's because someone cares for you and because, probably, there's someone you care about.

If you're too busy to send this out to other people and you say to yourself that you will send it

'One of these days', remember that

'One day' is far away... or might never come...

No matter if you're superstitious or not, spend some time reading it.

It holds a useful messages for the soul.

Yes, this story strikes a very deep note.

I still have a pair of one of my old girlfriend's silk panties.

From time to time, I take them out from the drawer and rub them against my cheek.

How good this feels.

I then put them on my head and go out into the streets.

People look at me strangely sometimes.

Do you think I care?

As far as I'm concerned, they can all go suck a prune.

Wearing my ex-girlfriend's silk panties on my head has made me understand that each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

So there.

Hmm, and what does your new girlfriend think of that ?

Suck a prune or sniff panties ??

Each to their own.

I tried this "live every day as your last" notion. I've got to tell you - the first 20 minutes were GREAT!!!!!!!! :Jumpy:

After a bit of a pause to recuperate, the next 20 minutes after that were pretttttty good as well :yu:

By about the third time around the hour mark - hell, not bad. Better than mowing the lawn, certainly. B)

After that I was kind of sleepy and tired. Kind a felt more like a snooze, maybe a cup of tea watching TV.

It turns out, living every day as you last is much more tiring than they tell you.

Ok I'll admit I've been having a good laugh at the replies, I thought it was sweet coming from my wife but then I got a grip and shot of to the doctors for a testerone injection, then I came back to laugh some more at the replies....albeit in a deeper voice :lol:

This one I liked especially.....

Shurely it should have the bit at the end about sending $10 to the name at the top of the list and adding yours to the bottom.....
