I saw it, Deb, thanks. I feel proud for the girl riding the horse, but I always found that song a little bit of a downer, I don't know why. Love and light.

I know this song is not for everybody, people have sure looked at me funny when I tell them it is my favorite song ever. It just sums up totally my philosophy on life and death.......I will NOT die with regrets, and I will NOT die wondering. :-)

Here are the lyrics
****************
Get Live Like You Were Dying

He said: "I was in my early forties,
"With a lot of life before me,
"An' a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
"I spent most of the next days,
"Looking at the x-rays,
"An' talking 'bout the options an' talkin bout sweet time."
I asked him when it sank in,
That this might really be the real end?
Hows it hit you when you get that kind of news?
Man whatcha do?

An' he said: "I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."

He said "I was finally the husband,
"That most the time I wasnt.
"An' I became a friend a friend would like to have.
"And all of a sudden goin' fishin,
"Wasnt such an imposition,
"And I went three times that year I lost my Dad.
"Well, I finally read the Good Book,
"And I took a good long hard look,
"At what I'd do if I could do it all again,
"And then:

"I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."

Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity,
To think about what youd do with it.
An' what did you do with it?
An' what can I do with it?
An' what would I do with it?

"Sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I watched Blue Eagle as it was flyin'."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."

"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."

DEFINATELY A GOOD INSPIRATIONAL SONG.SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TIME TO ME , BUT HARD TO FIND THE TIME.OH YEAH THE MONEY TOO.

I guess I was referring to the song's slow tempo and general "dying" theme. I want something cheerful, like "Rocky Mountain High...Colorado..."
"Live like you were dying" doesn't do it for me. Sorry. Peace

DARN I CANT GET VIDEO OR SOUND ON THIS OLD PUTTER BUT THE LYRICS SOUND BEAUTIFUL AND ALSO MAKES A LOT OF SENCE TO

One of my favorites, Thank you and Bless you for sharing...Some of my broken parts now are from the bulletproof life I have led and trust me the memorie now are worth every bit of it....

20 years ago when DX I adopted this motto and tryied to do everything inthe world with my daughter before i could not do anything.
The good news bad news is we did so many great things and I;m still here to keep doing them the other side is that I dug a a nice financial hole
So please every one live and enjoy life do crazy things when you want to sky dive climb mountioan ride the bull
party like it was 1999.
or what ever your dream is.

Just remeber the MS is not going to kill us and you have to wake up tomorrow and
pay the bills so have fun just watch your pocket book

Don't get me wrong I don't regret the great life I really have. I just have added somemore challanges.

You can't take it with you, Charchar, so you might as well spend it. I call that "money well spent."

Thanks all for your responses. I am certainly not advocating that people do something foolish, or blow money they don't have, just do what makes you happy within your means. To me, happiness is sittin' on the front porch with a hot cup of coffee and the Sunday newspaper.

I don't know about the memories, Bigouie. Those too fade. Everything here is temporary. I had fun, good times. I hardly remember them. I seldom think about Maui, Puerto Rico, The Grand Canyon and all the rest. Life is really a vapor, here one day, gone the next. Which is not to say it shouldn't be enjoyed.

Yeah, Deb is right. Don't leave all that unpaid credit debt for us to pay off. Who do you think you are, Charchar? Next time sit on the porch and read the paper!

Darling, all I can say is I really do love all the hillbilly songs I have to listen to on my radio. They all bring tears to my eyes almost every time!

Today, I have discovered YouTube.com on here and now I can watch the videos even with a bad video card in my computer.

I've really learned to love country music since my big ole truck only has an AM/FM stereo (radio, really). Like I said, most of them make me cry which makes it difficult to drive... LOL

Thanks for sharing, and it made me realize that I've been living like I'm dying in a good way. I went ahead with my dreams even though I had no income when I bought my farm. Even though I have MS, I moved way out here in cow country with no regard to medical care (which by hook or by crook has always worked out).

It's all good... Thanks for sharing... xoxoxo Cj (Cindyjo)

Live Like You Were Dying

"Dance like nobody's watching;
love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening;
live like it's heaven on earth."

~MT

Hey Hey I would rather hope on a plane and go snowboarding in snowmass

but chating with freinds reading posts and having a cup of coffee is still enjoyable.

Just because I can't party like it was 1999 anymore. Does not mean I gong to stick poeple with my bills I just have to pace myself a little bit beter.

life is still good somedays beter than others as everyone here knows ,
