It Gets You to Thinking…

With the passing of Dana Reeve from Lung Cancer on Monday it got me to thinking. Yesterday was my Mom’s birthday she would have been 70 years old. She passed away 4 years ago from lung cancer. I occasionally think about my Mom but yesterday I was out driving around when I heard about Dana Reeve and I had to pull over to collect myself. I am not sure why it hit me so hard, maybe her age which is only 3 years older than me or possibly the connection to my mother’s death. Not sure which it is but I was very surprised at how I reacted.

I spent last evening thinking about life and where I am with my life. I do not normally get into deep thought but I guess with how fragile life can be it is not surprising that we sometimes need to put things into perspective. For me I am not sure what the next few weeks or months hold for me as I continue to search for a job. I will take each day as it comes and will not sweat the small stuff like I used to do all the time. It’s pretty simple life is to fragile and too short.
