This post hits home with me..especially after watching one of my fav movies last night:
Million Dollar Baby
Life is too short. I find I no longer have the time I used to THINK I had and therefore I have no use of things that waste time....
I know that sounds bad on some levels but it's true.
I have a lot that seems to be 'at stake' these days and what with struggling with feelings of loss, hurting over things that I can't control and just the general BS that makes up life - I want to pick and choose I guess a little more carefully what I allow myself to 'wallow' in. I am trying I suppose to be more philosophical - but I fail at this as well.
Death does seem to always be nipping at our heels like some demon puppy that won't go away. We can decide to be at peace with us or keep running like hell from the inevitable. I guess in the end embracing the notion or acceptance of the fact that all life (and relationship) is impermanent and fleeting is somewhat of a learning curve for us all.
That is why I guess I am so grateful for the love of my husband and for at least being able to have a continuing relationship with my own children - to me these are precious commodities and they are treasures to be guarded and protected and nurtured.
Thank you Mr. May for reminding me of how important it is to try to live a life of meaning and substance; devoid of regret (if possible).
