My final post to this thread. A final revelation that may be of value to some who are ready.
Ann, D and I just finished putting down our 8 year old puppy. That makes two this year. Alot of death pain and joy in a short period has taught me a lesson. Live for the moment, rather than the future. That does not mean to shed hopes and dreams. It means enjoy what you have now cus now is a fleeting thing. Keep goals and dreams in perspective.
As a goal oriented person, my view of living has been constant revision of future goals and dreams. The end result has been a life that I have not really participated in nor enjoyed. This revelation has been twittering about me this past year but has finally sunk in.
ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE, cus one way or another, you will eventually lose it.
I think we suffer more when we realize that we never fully appreciated what we had until it is gone.
