Life and living

People pay for what they do, and still more, for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it simply: by the lives they lead. ~Edith Wharton~

*by the lonely, isolated, twisted and desolate lives they lead*

Blast from the past

Today, I heard from an old friend. He found me on Facebook. He was always one of my favourite people in high school. Hearing from him made me think back to my favourite things. Dan Fogelberg was one of them. He left us too soon. This song always made me sing at the top of my voice, with all my heart. I always substituted the word "life" for "love." Love, was easy, life... well that was hard. Still I marvel at what life throws at you. How hard life seems to fight to make itself tough and really, how simple, happy and easy it should just be. Thinking about this, I guess I never really left the 70's did I?

Life

The bad news... sometimes, no matter what you do, it's not enough.
The good news... nothing lasts forever
The bad news... sometimes people are thoughtless and mean.
The good news... it can give you the good cry you've needed but haven't let go.


The bad news... often, when you need to talk, no one answers the phone.
The good news... you don't get to say things you might be sorry for later.

And such is life.
