Just another day?!

What would I do if today was my last day?

I know this is a subject that has come across movies, TV shows, etc. But two days ago our friend had his heart stop beating. He was revived and now in the hospital with strict instructions to quit smoking, change eating habits, and exercise. I wonder why I don't wake up with the thought "this could be your last day". Would I accomplish all the things I need to or would I spend the time with those I love the most. What unfinished business would I leave for others? I am sure I would watch what I say and pay closer attention to my kids. I'm quite sure I would not be proud of all that I have done, but the fact that I was not giving every day my best effort of all that it can be. I am sure God must know that it wouldn't work for us humans to know our last day. But every day is a time to make a difference. Whether it is to sit and tell your loved one/ones how much you love them, help that person that is struggling in life, or making the changes in yourself that need to be made or learning something new. I think I will be more cautious of what I say to people or maybe I will tell someone something I wouldn't normally tell them. I just hope when the day is done it won't be "just another day".

?Wonder!

I wonder how it must feel to be an orca trapped in a tank?!



It is beyond anything grasped that someone can put an orca in a tank/comparable to locking a human in a room(not sure on exact measurement comparison). How can we expect the orca not to toss their trainer around?! I suppose I might make someone my toy, if I wanted out of a room bad enough. Yes, I can understand how a sea animal may be harmed enough to need to stay in captivity. But to have the numbers and sales I suppose humans would like to see an enormously beautiful creature do tricks. What they were not created for. Ever wonder why their fin is so tall and strong in the wild and fallen over and curved on their back in captivity. I suspect it is their fin that guides them in the massive ocean they were born to swim in. Not a small cell humans have created for them. Sigh......
