A younger friend who is only 36 had a minor stroke the other day. They have no idea what caused it since he's in excellent health and takes good care of himself. Fortunately, he's recovered, but it was a blistering reminder that we are not promised old age and to try to make the most of each day. I wish we lived in a culture that did a better job of talking abut that, because even though I think I handle it better than a lot of people, there's still plenty of room for improvement.
