Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I just heard the news of Steve Irwin, the famous Crocodile Hunter was killed by Stingray today. What an unexpected tradgedy. Who would have thought that this would have happened to this famously, trained and skilled person at the height of his career and during the prime of his life. He was 44 years young. I have said before, sometimes I or we spend so much time dwelling on the ultimate price of this disease, death I mean and we forget to live each day to the fullest. It is not far fetch for us to think that we can die very soon from this illness. Some of us are so advanced that we can go to sleep and never wake up. For those of us with brainstem involvement we can just stop breathing without any notice whatsoever. I say these things because, it hasn't happened yet! And instead of me or you or us dwelling on the when is it going to happen we should be living our lives to the fullest as much as possible. Yes, I know that is easier said than done. And I am certainly not advocating wrestling crocodiles. But I am simply saying we have more chances at living life than we realize. We just need to simply do it. So lets try to get off of our pity-poty and try a little more of living a quality life. Try smiling more instead of crying. Try thinking good clean and encouraging thoughts instead of feeling sorry for ourselves. If you were to ask me, ", who is likely to die first, you or Stever Irwin?" Without a doubt I would have said me. But we never know what the future has planned for us. So let us begin a anew and start thinking uplifting thougths and finding the postive in all situations. I know it is easier said than done. So don't hit me over the head. Just remember this, I am walking this journey with you, step by step. I love you all. And let us pray and send kind thougths of encouragement to Steve's wife and two children and to all of those who loved him and who enjoyed his work and gift(s) while he was here on earth with us.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Ron, you are so right, and let us try and be as uplifting and passionate about life as he was. The thought that comes to mind first when I think about him is how he made me smile everytime I saw him. I hope someone will think that about me too.
