| "Take it to the end of the line..." The Traveling Wilburys |
If you only had one day left,
how would you spend it? It is a different state of being when you get up in the
morning rushing around because in your mind, you really are not confident you
will ever see another day. To me, this was not a time to weep; I have a lot I
want to get done before I am gone. My sweet daughter thought it was morbid
seeing me rush around trying to get things done as if I really was going to be
gone tomorrow. None of us has a guarantee. To be human is to be mortal. As
surely as we walk this earth, one day we will leave it. All we can do is the
best we can with what we got and the time we got left.
Thinking at least to let go of
the morbidity of it all, I considered a new theme song, then I changed my mind.
"Take it to the end of the line." That's it. That's mine. Whatever
condition you are in, if you don't live life to the max you don't have much at
all. I don't know how many times I have listened to that song, when I would
feel discouraged, I would listen to it one more time to remind me, even though
maybe things were not exactly the way I would like, I do have life and as long
as I am living, I have choices. I reminded myself of that over and over. And
then I would listen to the song again, just to remind myself one more time.
Do you have a theme song,
something you turn on and you turn up loud to get you through the day, to get
you through whatever it is you have to face?
