:smash:Waking up this morning and walking into the office to hear of Tony Snow losing his battle with Colon Cancer at 53. I wanted to express a few thoughts.
I seldom start a thread about the life of someone - but over the last 10 years I have become kinda of a News Junky. I drive an insane amount of miles for my Sales Position and I listen to alot of Talk Radio.
Anyone who has spent serious time on the road understands you can only rock out and jam soooo much, especially during the business day, so ya have to keep sharp and informed, and discovering Talk Radio has added a refreshing and richer intellectual component to an otherwise mundane road experience.
I have always looked at Tony and listened to him on the Radio as a tempered and classy guy who had a genuine and honest way about his approach to whatever he did. Today we are so exposed to so much "Canned Reality Shows" - which are anything but real, and so many biased News and Media exposure with the advancement of all our World Wide Technology that its refreshing to hear from someone who seems and appears like someone you know or could just talk to.... no airs, no attitude.
I obviously did not know him personally but it causes me to pause and remember those of us in our lives, many here on the Registry that temper our environment or in some cases, affect it! But all of that aside - I sometimes reflect upon how short of a time we are here, that it does go by so fast, and its not something any of us can control.
So take a minute to cherish your Family, the Close Friends and people you truly love and that create the real "Wealth" in your life... its the moments and the memories we share that deposit the funds that enrich all of our existence....and its a neat thing when we recognize and appreciate that. I always found it somewhat tragic to wait until someone passes to express what a great person they were, or how generous with helping you out or whatever their particular "Touchstone" was for their life.
Wouldn't we all be better served to appreciate all that we do have, now and today and realize that this truly is, the time of your Life?:wink:
Be Well
