You struck a chord with that post GrayBeard.
All the things i have said i will do, my list is sooooooo long, but always too busy, always doing something around the house or in the garden, i was once a keen hillwalker and potholer (Speleologist) gave up potholing when i met my wife but carried on walking for a while, then settled down into the husband/father routine, never could find time to go out and do things then, "i'll do it tomorrow or next week", but never did, always the house and garden came first, always too busy, and the pounds piled on, well, now i need a lung transplant, it's made me sit and think, all the things i was going to do, now i can't do them, so now the house don't look so great, the gardens a bit overgrown, but if my wife or kids say 'shall we go somewhere', we go, i go, i'm not missing out on anything else, i have to loose weight before i can have a lung transplant, but the way i see it is 'if i don't have the transplant i might die, if i have the transplant i might die, but i'm not dead yet! so, if i want an ice cream i'll have one, if i want a cake i'll have one, i can't do all the things that i put off doing but i can try! if i'm to die i will spend what time i have doing things, fun things with my family, not putting them off, were only here for a short time and were a long time dead.
Don't put it off! you'll regret it, i know i do!
Forgive my rambling, just felt i had to say it.
