Silly things.
We tend to take things we do daily for granted.
There's so much that we take for granted; tying shoes, pouring a cup of coffee, even going to work.
It takes a split second for all of that to be taken away,
Just like that, it's game over.
No more walks in the park or stopping to smell the flowers.
Tomorrow is never a gurantee, not even the sun rise is guaranteed.
Want to know what is at least guaranteed?
The current moment you do have.
One moment isn't much, but it is when you are 90 years old.
For 90 years you've been saying not right now, maybe later, I'll add it to the list,
Did you ever get to it? How was that trip to Europe you planned on taking after high school?
You didn't go did you?
Now you're 90 years old, hooked up to a oxygen tank and out of breath from taking a shit.

Having a creative imagination has no limitations. My favourite past time is just dumping all my thoughts on to paper and seeing where it goes.
