  Friday Tale - Don't Wait till Later!   B arely the day started and... it is already six in the evening. Barely arrived on Monday and it is already Friday. ... and the month is already over. ... and the year is almost over. ... and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed. ... and we realize that we lost our parents, friends and we realize it's too late to go back... So.. . Let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time... Let's keep looking for activities that we like... Let's put some color in our grey... Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts. And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let's try to eliminate the afters... such as: I 'm doing it after... I'll say after... I'll think about it after...    We leave everything for later like ′′ after ′′ is ours. Because what we don't understand is that: Afterwards, the coffee gets cold......
