It's About Time

Today is Friday and I forget what I am "supposed" to blog about today.  Once you miss one day, it gets easier and easier to miss more and more days blogging.  I just missed eleven days.  It's kind of like exercise until you just skip it entirely.  So, since I forgot what I am writing about, I will write whatever I want.  After all, it is my blog.

“You can’t take it with you” and “Only the good die young” are two quotes that come to mind when I think of death, but the topic hasn’t really come to mind very often until recently.  I, personally do not have a whole lot of experience losing someone very close to me, but in the past few days, it seems many people I know have been suffering losses and it’s been happening right after the brand new year too.
It really makes you think.  You think what you could possibly do to help ease the other person’s pain.  It may make you think of a loss that you have suffered.  But, for me, most of all it makes me think about the relationships I have.  What would I do differently if I knew it was someone’s last day on earth?  And how do I know that it isn’t?  What would I do differently if I knew it was my last day on earth?  All of these are good questions to consider when deciding how you want to live the rest of your life.
