Barely the day started and... it's already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday.
... and the month is already over.
... and the year is almost over.
... and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.
... and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.
and we realize it's too late to go back...
So... Let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time...
Let's keep looking for activities that we like...
Let's put some color in our grey...
Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let's try to eliminate the afters...
I'm doing it after...
I'll say after...
I'll think about it after...
We leave everything for later like ′′ after ′′ is ours.
Because what we don't understand is that:
Afterwards, the coffee gets cold...
afterwards, priorities change...
Afterwards, the charm is broken...
afterwards, health passes...
Afterwards, the kids grow up...
Afterwards parents get old...
Afterwards, promises are forgotten...
afterwards, the day becomes the night...
afterwards life ends...
And then it's often too late....
So... Let's leave nothing for later...
Because still waiting see you later, we can lose the best moments,
the best experiences,
best friends,
the best family...
The day is today... The moment is now...
We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done right away.

"When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can think at all; and though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none, I can read the writing on the wall."  

~Paul Simon 

 

IHS THEN...    

 

IHS ALMA MATER SONG

 

Hail, Hail Irondequoit our Alma Mater dear.

We praise thee for thy nobleness,

thy honor we revere;

and though the years swiftly pass away,

our love shall never die.

We have been inspired by thee the highest aims to try.

 

Hail, Hail Irondequoit, may sunshine fill thy halls; and memories of thy sons and daughters echo from thy walls.

From thee we gained wisdom, honesty, leadership and skill.

Irondequoit where ere we travel, Alma Mater still.
