Today we visited an old friend in hospital. The news was not good and our dear friend with all his traditional quirks could somehow smile and laugh through the pain and diabolical prognosis. We came away counting our many blessings and reminded that we have to live for today as a tribute to those who have lost the choice to do so.

We can only wish our friend all the very best and continue to visit and bring him a taste of the outside world as it seems he won't have the opportunity to do so himself anymore. The visit had a profound effect on me. It reminds me that in the scheme of things we are very insignificant and we have to make the most of each day we are given as it is a true gift.

I went home and made this little pocket watch to wear. I will carry it as a reminder to stop whinging and griping but rejoice in the day, it's challenges and joys. Because when all is said and done, Today is it!

Blessing to you all.
