Death, Taxes, and Aquariums.

There are many times I feel like life is too short--It should be lived to the fullest. For example, when we do taxes all we want to do is cry while accountants want to commit suicide with their long hours of desperation and father time's deception of a clock on the wall spinning slower and slower. We live life jumping through hoops, coming to corners in mazes, and double-dutch skipping ropes. All of the things in life cloud our vision and mix our dreams up with our "never-seen" realities.

As I watch Mr. Turtle and the little fishies swim around the small tank, realization becomes the closest friend. Endless opportunities unveil and the urge to never waste a single moment.

So life is short, yes. We live to do our taxes, eat, digest, and die. But then again, we die to live. If you don't, I strongly suggest you start because my turtle is ever excited for the same smelly food he receives every single day. Why not have that mentality?

Start with joy regardless of day's tedium? Sure. Why not?
