    Boy, did this hit home. I only have 7 more work days and laid awake all night, thinking about a negative work issue. One which in two more weeks won’t affect me at all! Thanks for a great post.

      Two more weeks and you are right—it won’t really matter. Keep positive and know that in the big scheme of things it will all work out!

    Wonderful! And I may have shared this with you before- but as Erma Bombeck wrote,”think of all the women who waved off the dessert cart on the Titanic” life is short!

    Life’s too short to ignore the positive messages found on it’s just life…

    As I age, I’ve become ever more cognizant of the “life is too short” theme.

    This is a great list. I always appreciate your positive viewpoint on life. Thank you!

    Life is indeed too short not to enjoy! I actually thought about the eating in the dining room thing not that long ago and will start eating there more often… because why not? Also, nature… so much to admire there.
