I Forgot to live

First, I was dying to finish my high school and start college.
And then I was dying to finish college and start working.
Then I was dying to marry and have children.
And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so I could go back to work.
But then I was dying to retire.

And now I'm dying. Suddenly I realized that I forgot to live.

Don't let this happen to you. Appreciate your present situation.
Enjoy each day.
