Spread my ashes here.

 

Spread half of my ashes at Logan Pass.

Spread the other half on the beach at Mitchell’s Sand Castles – our annual Summer tradition on Sanibel Island .

Nursing homes really make you think

Fall foliage
i wondered what the tree looked like from the trunk up.

 

Fall foliage
Remarkably similar.

 

Nursing homes really make you think.

What do we envision our final years being comprised of?

No one really plans on a nursing home.

But if that’s the hand we’re dealt, how would we respond to daily life, knowing this was the final home for us – never would there be any other option.

Of course, Hospice is probable, but you would most likely remain in the nursing home.

i love feeling uncomfortable with thoughts like these.

The best time to concern ourselves with stuff like this is when we don’t need to be.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Was this the first time he thanked me for visiting?

Bruce Springsteen
Bruce was becoming an American icon about the same time i was becoming friends with Cheryl (1979).

 

Was this the first time he thanked me for visiting?

Maybe.

Can’t recall the last time.

A simple gesture gave me hope yesterday.

The wait of 37 years came with no expectation.

Hope that i am changing in order to be a better nursing home visitor.

Help me believe I’m someone worth dying for

clever water bottle message
Last night at the Cross Country pasta party – noticed this on the water bottle.

 

Help me believe i’m someone worth dying for.

You’ve got to believe.

Right?

You’re not just some wondering soul.

Correct?

You, yes you, you are someone worth dying for.

i am?

Thank you Jesus.

It’s not going to last, so don’t try to make it last

Space Mountain
Walking back to the car, i’ve never seen Space Mountain lit like this before. The combo of artificial light and the sunset was remarkable.

 

It’s not going to last, so don’t try to make it last.

None of us will live forever.

This means absolutely nothing to most of us.

Now imagine if it meant everything.

Can’t do it, right?

Too intense, no?

Dying with regret sounds too intense, to me, to be honest.

So let me say this in plain English – there has always been a finite time span for each of us.

Time.

Limited.

Extinguishable.

No exceptions.

Period.

Clearer?

The goal, therefore, is to live in the moment, because the moment, in reality, is all we have right now.
