“I was not born with an expiry date tattooed” an amazing thought to live by. Sometimes years go by with us chasing things that ultimately meant or will mean little. I was thinking about this with the lens of measurable and unmeasurable - we track things we can measure ($ in the bank) but do not track things that are less easier (emotional state, stress levels, health)
That description has stuck with me since I first heard it, Promeet. Particularly poignant when you realize a 26-yr-old said it. I like your thoughts on the unmeasurables.
Embracing you with much love during this time of loss, especially of an uncle who gave you unconditional love. What a gift, what a legacy. You do that all the time, my friend.
Another thought provoking message Karena . As we come to the end of the year and we pass All Saints day and All Souls day it seems a good time to ponder our mortality and our legacy.
Christin - I'll share more when we chat tomorrow. But I love the last chapter of Benedictus. Particularly the thought that anyone can give a blessing. My daughter and nieces blessed their grand-uncle before he passed.

I can highly recommend the book Four Thousand Weeks.

Thanks Laila. I will search it out. It seems to have made quite an impact on you.
Nice one K. Very.
Of what use having lived, if one hasn't made a difference... Huh?
So true. Every day in every way possible. That's always been my guiding principle. It makes life so much better and fun too.
Keep inspiring, K. It's good stuff you're doing. ❤️
Ricky, thanks.

thank you
The fragility of life, too. And the importance of not waiting to tell those we love most profoundly that we do.
