The Odds

     Gambling holds no fascination for me.  The odds have to be against you; however, some people seem to be lucky and win.
     When we are young, the odds seem to be in our favor of  having many more years of life.  As we get older and see many of our relatives and friends come to the end of their lives, we feel sad but also lucky that we have more time left on this earth.  We know that in an instant an accident, a stroke or a heart attack can cut our lives short.  Sometimes we may wonder if we have a time bomb inside us ready to go off when we least expect it.  Will our body finally wear out and say, "That's it!"
    We don't know what's going to happen in the future, but we can try to put the negative thoughts out of our minds and replace them by being thankful for the time we have.  We don't want to gamble with our lives but try and stay healthy, eat right, exercise, and follow our doctors' advice.  Hopefully, we can beat the odds and be among the lucky ones to live long and healthy lives.
