Life

So I've been gone for a week and now I've decided that writing is something I miss way too much to go a whole week without doing it. I attended my Grandmother's funeral this past week and if there is one thing going to a funeral is sure to do is really make you put your life in perspective. THings that seemed important a few days ago no longer are, petty stupid things that we waste our time thinking about, these toxic distractions that we allow to consume us, all the while spending valuable time on that instead of what our real purpose in life is.

There are so many things that I want to do, so many things that I have to do and the years I have left don't seem long enough to accomplish everything and definatley nothing I should be wasting with stupid minescule things. Did you ever notice how much happier you are when you don't focus on those things, when life gets so busy that you don't have time to focus on anything else much less something not worth while.

I know that there are things that people say or do that make us angry and we would love nothing more at that moment to hold onto a grudge and tell all of our closest allies what that person did or said or is doing and how wrong they are, and they may very well be, but after seeing someone live 104 years and going to her funeral and looking at her and knowing that she lived a great life and then hearing her voice on a video tape of her very last moments on this earth and do you know what she said, she said that she didn't always do it right, she wasn't always perfect, and hearing her say that my heart just broke and still aches because although no one is perfect she still wished she didn't do this or didn't do that and when I get to that moment in time I want as little to look back on a regret as possible.

My wish is that we all can look back and know that we did everything we could to be kind, to bite our tongues when we wanted to say not so nice things, to live each day with joy and peace everlasting and to live in the present, to really take each day and live the crap out of it. I bid you all a farewell!

Warm Regards,
Candace
