This is so sweet and thoughtful. It is easy to stay on autopilot and just let all of the important things race by

Poignant, thoughtful - brilliant! I love 'dailyness', a word reminding us of the realm of the familiar, hence rarely noticed, into which our lives are embedded...

I think that I have always been aware of needing to live each moment to the full. taste and visit and try and learn everything that I could cram into my short span. I am going out one day with this body absolutely wrecked...and I don't care really. It is/has lived.

Ain't it the truth! My children and grandchildren still talk about my mom - she never let yesterday catch up with her. In spite of her age and ailing body, she would be the first one up bopping to the music, could take a drink with the best of them, and flirted with all men, no matter how old they were. She treated age as if it was just a minor inconvenience - I wish I was more like her.

Caught me right here with that coffee and early morning thinking and your post stirred my mind up and how I don't really have kids anymore to share with. I think that's why I'm trying to put my 'Archive' together, to look back at 'me' and take some responsibility for the loss of my children and grand children now.
I'm truly not bitter anymore towards 'her' of the past and mother of the chidren, I have formed an opinion however, that we do live our individual hell right here on earth, your well written post just woke me up to some things and I accept the hell from what I helped raise. My sunshine and peace with my God of my understanding, is that I am over 46 years sober, in love with my 'Kabuiepie' human, and love you my darlin' sister in life.
