(That's not to say I don't complain!) My wonderful ex-husband died a year and a half ago just short of his 58th birthday. Watching him gracefully and lovingly go while maintaining his sense of humor changed me forever; I vowed never to let myself be tainted by the negative - people, attitudes, etc. Life IS too short; and another day here to enjoy laughing with my kids or crying over the lack of ready finances or gritting my teeth over a flat tire or sighing as I sink into a hot, bubbly bath -- those are all good reasons to remember that my days are given as a gift from my beloved Father who loves me beyond compare. And that this is the only one I get. I choose to spend it in peace - in as much as is possible! Thank you for these lovely words.Sandy aka Doris the Greathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135704111702244735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248252672578652986.post-5690757839939805902009-09-13T22:25:55.533+02:002009-09-13T22:25:55.533+02:00Hi Phillip and Argent.

"Trading a day of your life for it" does make you stop in your tracks and think, doesn't it. I personally so often just waste away minutes and hours that I think I wrote the post mostly to remind myself that I only have so many days and I must use them wisely.A human kind of humanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944399986334367708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248252672578652986.post-28457394883248262272009-09-13T21:32:49.359+02:002009-09-13T21:32:49.359+02:00AW, I was going to say what Phil said!
