TAKING LIFE FOR GRANTED

Hi all! Okay, so Ill do the small stuff first. Today it
is 80 degrees, and I am about to go swim. I am having such
a good day. Well, there is reason behind that. I woke up
this morning and was late as always and I had 2
administrative meetings. I get paid tomm. I was tired and
ill and then things just started getting better. I think
the weather lifts people's spirits, or maybe it was the
fact that I got to talk to Anthony before I went to work.
Of course, the vampire went back to bed. But thats another
story that everyone knows all too well.

I went to work and it was fun I guess. 333 calls. I know.
I know. There are still 86 calls to make, and tomm is when
we celebrate Drs day so I guess I will get a cake from the
bakery for him. There is a new coffee place in town that I
just saw so I will be going there soon ;)

My sister is coming into town this weekend, it is her
mother in law's bday. I GET PAID tomm. I got some really
sad news today....and it made me think about things, and re
think things.....

One of my fav mom's has died. The last time I saw her she
was going through kemo and had lost her hair, and the last
convo we had was about nails, and how they chip, and how
red is one of our favs. The thing I love about my job is
that I get to know these people. I get invited to their
parties, and they send me birthday cards. And this was one
of my moms that just kind of always seemed to take things
in stride and was allllllllllllllllllways super sweet and
easy going. This is someone who used to sit in my office
with me on Thursdays bc her child had a speech appt. And
she died. And of course her kids are going through a lot.
And as soon as I heard, for the second time in my
professional life, I cried. Which then I sent flowers and
a Harry and David cheesecake, her son will appreciate
that. I feel so bad for them. Just knowing they are so
angry and life is never going to be the same for them. It
is so wrong it seems. The last thing I ever said to her
was two weeks ago and I told her I would see her in July.
I wont...and it made me appreciate my day in a new light.

It's wrong to waste time, it's wrong to hold grudges, it's
wrong to be mad at people. Bc then you are not living your
life the way God intended. I dont know, but things seemed
to change at that point. So my whole spill for the day is
this...love everyone and if you love them, tell them, bc
you dont know what tomm holds. And you dont know who will
be here and who wont.

Do not take thought for your persons or your properties,
but first and chiefly to care about the greatest
improvement of the soul. I tell you that the virtue is not
given by money, but that from vitue come money and every
other good of man, public as well as private... The
difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in
avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs faster than death.
--Socrates
Men fear death, as children fear to go in the dark; and as
that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so
is the other.
--Francis Bacon
