Make hay while the sun shines

Narrow escape route

Last night I found out, through mutual friends, a Kayak Newfoundland and Labrador member passed away a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know Christine M (partner of Rick H) well but met her at Ben and Linda's a few times and sometimes on the water. Both she and Rick had kayaks and paddled a lot together.

She had developed breast cancer and through testing it was also discovered in her liver. She lived only 3 days after her first treatment.

Such an event is a sad occasion and its also a wake-up call to action. Sometimes we put off things to another day because maybe we're not in the mood or some other reason. Would we if we knew what was around the corner and our days were counted?

I thought of Christine today as we took advantage of the day to do a couple of hours in the wind and waves. Live in the moment and seize the day. Trick is to remember that every day as I put my feet on the floor in the morning.
