I loved this, Sarah. I saved it for when I had time to really look at it. I printed the chart.
I was listening to an Oprah podcast a few years ago. I don't remember who she had on, but they told the story of Death coming for a 52 year old man. The man begged
MAN: Please just give me 2 more weeks. There's so much I want to do.
DEATH: I gave you 52 years already.
Sometimes it feels like I'm busting my butt for nothing. Nobody gets out alive, right? I think about sitting on my patio, feeling the sun on my face while I read all the books. So many I can't begin to list. I often wonder if the time is better spent doing that, than the uphill climb I do every day. Since I don't have an answer to that, I continue the climb.
Oh, I'm so glad, Renee. I feel the same way . . . I negotiate deals in my day job and I often think these very same things you've shared while spending my days discussing contract provisions. I've lost many in my family, far too soon. It's why I push so hard in writing and sharing stories . . . because at least through story we can share what it truly means to be human with one another, spreading hope. If I had my way I'd spend all my days with only being with family, reading, traveling . . . feeling that warm sun on my face too. I don't have the answers either, except we should always live each day like it's our last. The best time is now, because now is all we are guaranteed. <3
I love the article! I’m going to try and work on this. I’m going to make list of what to have to do I’m going to start small because it doesn’t take much sometimes to get overwhelmed for me. So wish me luck I start today ♥️

Thanks for the gentle reminder.
