Fight routine

You can't avoid it, somehow after years life settles, brings dust on your belongings and you every day, just a little new layer each morning each evening and you get swallowed, eaten, between the same routine every day, the bills, the worries, the god knows what, and "it all."
"Stop and smell the roses," they say. Yeap. Easier said than done, often, but that's the idea. So, go for that CD, the extra cup of coffee, the super dooper ice cream or cookie, etc., it's the only way you'll ever get a chance to fight back against the routine and the dustburying of your life and yourself.
Fight routine, fight it off harder, enjoy the hell out of your music, your wife or partner (or maybe... out of your wife and out of your partner!!!... ;))
No one ever went away to face death wishing he or she had spent more time at work. So, go for life and whistle, sing, dance, eat it, to it, on it, laugh at it, and survive, one day at a time, one instant at a time..
No other way..... Short of deciding that is not worth it, in which case, no existential worry to have, you have found the solution and farewell...
