It's not life and death people...until...well, until it is!

Last night, between bites of amazing grilled tuna steak over baby spinach leaves, and mandarin oranges, (JEALOUS MUCH?) I thought about something (and as usual, I think in movie quotes!)

"I was thinking about death and all. About seeing how you're gonna die. I mean, on one hand, if dying was all you thought about, it could kind of screw you up. But it could kind of help you, couldn't it? Because you'd know that everything else you can survive. "
-Big Fish

Isn't that what it's all about? (besides the Hokey Pokey of course). When I'm facing a challenge, I just want to know that I'm going to survive it. That it's not going to hurt that bad. That's the way I used to look at things. It was just about getting it over with. Getting by.

Getting. Through. The. Day.

But now?

I'm rapidly approaching the ripe old age of *gasp* twenty six, I've realized that there are things to be learned, and enjoyed. Oh so very enjoyed along the way. And it doesn't have to be monumental, or poetic, or even perfect. It just has to be appreciated.
