I mean, to do that would mean being like those people who really did think the world was going to end on May 21, 2001. Believers who stopped paying their mortgage, let their home go into foreclosure, quit their jobs...all because they thought Hey, why not! The world's about to end! I think the general idea though is to be aware of the fragility of life. I am by nature a pessimist (but a joyful one!) and therefore I am constantly aware that a distracted driver might plow into me on my way home. But because of this, I don't take anything for granted.<br /><br />My spouse, on the other hand, is more of a cockeyed optimist who lives like there's never going to be an end. Oblivious. Not bothering to go visit family several states away, because hey there will always be time for that. Until one of them dies, and you haven't been home for years. And you think huh, I should've gone back home on a regular basis. <br /><br />I try to browbeat my spouse into being more like me. Remind him to schedule a trip to see his relatives when they're not lying in a coffin. But his nature overrules me. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your writing. I wish you peace.Elisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-22352687436690929012017-03-12T23:58:43.101-07:002017-03-12T23:58:43.101-07:00In your honor, S...

I have to tell myself multiple times a day, but in some ways it's freeing b/c it reminds me that I have no power over it. And also completely terrifying.SHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655108273069894122noreply@blogger.com
