David Cassidy's last words
 

It is said by his daughter that his last words were "so much wasted time"

By living here in The Villages, we can fill our days to the fullest

I speak to myself and to others, Let's live each day to the fullest

agree

The poem "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time" by 17th century poet Robert Herrick always seemed appropriate, even more so since moving to The Villages.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he’s a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he’s to setting.

That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.

Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry;
For having lost but once your prime,
You may forever tarry

"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time."

If I just wanted to wast time, I would have moved to a NON-active adult community.

I must admit I like that saying.

No need to move to the Villages to fulfill an active retirement life unless you lived in the sticks. Most of my neighbors moved here for the weather or lower taxes not because there was nothing to do up north.

Two Thumbs up for me also.

I don't think anyone wants to waste time all the time, but sometimes we just want to sit and do nothing or watch a silly television program. If someone enjoys doing that, then it's not wasted time.

I guess the quote is saying that we don't have to be accomplishing something 100% of the time.

Half of the beauty is having all the options of things to choose from and choose to do nothing.

Weather and tax refugees!

My wife asked me what I did today. I said, "Nothing". She said, "You did that yesterday". I told her, "I wasn't finished".

Good one. Many a truth is said in jest.

This needs a repost !
