My childhood friends' mom passed away last week & I haven't had the words to say. I still don't. There's something about death's cold sting that makes you brood lucas scott-style on life & mortality. It's fleeting and the only things guaranteed in life are aging & taxes. (and who wants that??)
I've written many columns on making the most out of life & taking leaps, which I still believe in. BUT I also believe that it's hard sometimes. We don't always have the answers to things & sometimes just making it through the day is an accomplishment. I'm learning that life doesn't have to be this big leap in order for you to live it.
Here's what I now think:
I think that we don't have to have some big revelation. We just live.
I think we should take more photos but make more memories.
I think we should tell the people we love that we love them while we have the chance.
AND
I believe it's the little things that matter the most, so make the most of what is not guaranteed.
