Thankful for a solarium
The solarium is one room over from the 90-year old’s double-occupancy Nursing Home room. The solarium permanently doubles as overflow parking for resident’s wheelchairs that if left in their rooms, would crowd their already tight living quarters.
i’m thankful for overflow parking, even though it isn’t aesthetically enhancing the solarium.
There’s a long list for why i’m thankful versus the easy list for “why doesn’t the Nursing Home find a more visually pleasing solution?”

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.
Can’t take back what i said
Can’t take back what i said.
How’s it going, i asked while we were washing out hands at the sink in the gym bathroom.
Not so good, he said, my dad has Alzheimers and we just found out he has (kidney?) cancer, and i recently called in hospice.
How old is your dad?
Eighty-seven.
No one lives forever was the first thing that came out of my mouth.
i had invisibly done rapid-fire calculations and deductions in my head and instantaneously thought…87 is a long life. i know many people, my dad and grandfather to name just two, who would have thought 87 was more than a gift.
Sure, death is obviously the end of an earthly relationship. As we age, we have to see (and prepare for) this coming. And how we live with this reality (everyday) in large part determines how we view the separation that death brings.

Perhaps our greatest daily tragedy
Perhaps our greatest daily tragedy is not pausing for (as little as) a minute to give thanks for the gift of another day.
Has anyone tried this?
What would happen to you if you spent more quiet time in the mornings before getting on with your day?
What, if anything, changed?
