The desire to stay home is strong in this one today.
It won’t happen.
I am drinking my happy coffee this morning, and enjoying the feel of the fan’s breeze on my shoulders. It feels like a cool fall morning. I just don’t want it to stop.
Fall will come soon enough.
The year is actually speeding by. I haven’t celebrated my birth month like I usually do. I’ve been too busy with work.
I can always just keep celebrating until the end of the year.
Why not?
I was blessed with yet another anniversary of my birth and I am grateful.
I attended the funeral of my cousin yesterday. She was a bit younger than me. She was a good soul, took care of family and an avid Sooner fan.
And just too young.
I am at the age of funeral announcements instead of weddings and births.
Each announcement makes me look at my own mortality.
I have escaped death. Learned there is something beyond this life, however I am not ready to explore that yet.
I am immortal in a sense.
I will live on past my physical attachment to this world. There is comfort in knowing that.
I will leave a mark, memory, lesson and possibly comfort to those I physically leave behind.
But know I will never be gone.
Make your mark in the world, just make sure it isn’t a bruise.
Be the person that brings a smile at the mere mention of your name.
Leave a legacy.
Be grateful.
Love big my friends, tomorrow is not promised.
Live and love today.
Lorene
