Time for reflection

I attended the funeral of a friend's Father yesterday and as always funerals make me reflect on life.  What always strikes me is the interesting things people have done that you didn't know about.  However the question it raised on my mind was "what picture" would I choose to have on the Order of Service?  What would that say about me at a particular time in my life?  You may think I'm being a bit morbid and not my normal self today but actually this is what Mission Ironman is all about.
It's about making the most of your life, enjoying the NOW rather than putting the enjoyment off till some stage in the future that you may never reach.  It's about your family and friends and appreciating that everyone has a story, a history and we should listen to them more.  It's just a shame that we are all so busy caught up in life that we don't appreciate what is staring us in the face.
Normal service will be resumed tomorrow as I get back to training and continue on the Mission Ironman journey.  have a good one!
