Take the weight of the world off your shoulders
This weekend at least, take time to smell the roses, smile, laugh, be silly, don't let the darkside of humanity rule your life, even for just a little while. Life, death, happens in a instant, deal with it then, don't cheat yourself of the present, life and death are but two sides of the same coin, we can't have one without the other, so enjoy life while you have it, and be thankful for those who have passed, touched you in such a great way. Peace

3. Actually why not make that an every day part of your life?
I never have bad days, just bad moments of the days and never do I let a bad moment ruin my whole day. Life is to short to sweat the small stuff, remember its all small stuff.

4. Thanks, I think I needed to hear what I wrote
But I'd much rather help others instead, and in doing so, it helps me as well, funny thing. Peace

6. Thanks bonito! What you wrote really touched me.
I'm going to show this to my mom at tomorrow's Xmas Eve dinner. She's been really mourning the loss of my dad, as have I. It's a difficult time of the year when you miss those who are no longer with you. But, you're right: be thankful for those who have passed having touched you in this life. Again, thanks. :hug:

10. Awww, now you really have me crying...
In a good way, though. That was very insightful and really the truth. I hope she will come to see that. Bonito, have a wonderful holiday and know that you have touched so many with your comments. Now I'm off to mop up my keyboard. :)
