Enjoy Life While You Can

My mother is sixty two. She is a diabetic and for the past few months, suffering from osteoporosis. Her bones have become weak and she feels stiffness and pain in her limbs all the time. Most of the time she is depressed. This should have been the golden phase of her life, when she was free from all the worries, the in-laws, job, children’s future etc. But she is spending most of her time in agonizing about her ill health. She rues the fact that earlier the relatives used to envy her good health. I had advised her to take best diet pills to control her weight.
When I met my mother this time, I thought there are no gurantees. You can’t predict future. I never enjoy present, always worry about future. But do I know what the future holds for me? I curb many small wishes which I can easily fulfil, just to save some money for the future. But what use that money will be if I am in no condition to enjoy it?
The lesson I learned from watching my mother is that you should enjoy your life while you still can.
