Maybe tomorrow I’ll have the courage, and diplomacy, to share this

wasn’t fully awake when I read the email

 

Dear Boomers (and Dear Son), less than an hour ago, read a devastating email from a friend.

Her husband unexpectedly passed away yesterday.

The woman who’s Family attended our Son’s birthday parties for the past decade, and vice versa. Who’s age is near ours.

Mike’s funeral is tomorrow.

Completely blindsided would be the understatement of the decade.

The five blogs I write everyday revolve around the notion that aging is a privilege, not a guarantee.

We can embrace life, and death, as magnificent gifts from a loving Creator, and live our days with joy, passion, and deep, deep gratitude.

So grateful to have known Mike for more than a decade.

Love to see enthusiasm - everywhere. Even where we wouldn't expect.

Love to see enthusiasm – everywhere. Even where we wouldn’t expect.

 

Special note to self (and maybe the most important one ever):

Rehearsal is over. No more practice.

Start living.

The only thing more contagious than enthusiasm is the lack of it.

Feed yourself first.

Be the fire!

Are we progressing in the direction of our dreams? Virtually everything we set out to do takes incredibly longer than we planned. Remember when we began our journey we believed it would have a positive ripple effect on the world?

In a gentle way, you can shake the world. – Gandhi

To all reading this, keep moving forward. What strengthens us is the very thing that tries to destroy our will – time.
