what if
|
what if there's a country song about a man that tells you how he lives his life once he finds out he's dying. some of the lyrics are below: I went skydiving I went rocky mountain climbing I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu And I loved deeper And I spoke sweeter And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin' And he said some day I hope you get the chance To live like you were dyin' i was thinking about that.... we spend a lot of time doing things we have to do, working and cleaning and laundry and just stuff. and yeah, it has to be done. but what if we decided to spend less time doing some of that stuff and more time doing things we wanted to do? would the world fall apart? i doubt it. i rarely get to see the people i love the most and when i do it's at some sort of event and not just visiting or for some time spent being.... or dancing. it's been months since i went dancing. and dancing makes me happy and it makes me laugh out loud. even just going to punkatasset with charlie. he loves it there and he hasn't been there since spring. i love seeing him in the woods. he becomes more wolf and less house pet. his nose is moving constantly and he's really alert and alive. i get to sit in the giant pine stand and meditate and not worry about him....he'll come back to me, he always does. and if i get lost, he'll lead us out. might take a while...smiles...but we'll get there and there's no hurry. what if i just skipped chores for a week.... or every other week. gave myself time to find a bull named fu manchu. what if........... You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

Well, oui-oui... I got a new post up; and surprise--it deals with exactly the theme you've presented, here. Now, I've never been all that fond of Tim McGraw; however... I can relate to his tribulations. I can tell ya this: goin' without clean dishes ain't the end of the world. I know. Goin' through life with a hole in your soul... is. I know this, too.  Stop by. You're welcome in my dream--the new one.  Solar...

This general idea has been on my mind since IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon was killed in a race at Las Vegas last week. Any time something like that happens there's the criticism of the sport and the people who do that. It happens whenever someone dies as the result of a voluntary activity that has a dangerous or risky element. I found a quote that went something like this "All men die, not all men really live." That stuck with me, people who take those risks, those chances, really live. That's what they want to do, that's who they are. I'm not a risk taker by choice, not at that level. My "risks" are more mundane. But, I've become aware of the need to live, to take some type of chances. Even if it's something as simple as asking a woman to dance. (Yes, for some of us, that is risky) And, if that song is by Tim McGraw, it sounds like he may be referring to his father, Tug McGraw. Tug was a baseball player in the 60's and 70's, but didn't have the best relationship with his son. I've heard that he (Tim) didn't know him until late in his life. Tug was diagnosed with cancer and died later. I'm not a fan of country music, so I could be all wrong on this.

When I was 21, I was in a horrendous car crash that left me at death's door for several weeks...months. It was a life changing event for me in the sense that I knew there was so much of this world that I wanted to see and do. So, I choose to say yes to new opportunities that present themselves to me. Some people perceive me as being intense, driven, aggressive, assertive, and goal oriented because I can be single-minded in purpose. I'm the same way when it comes to matters of the heart. I give them my all. Never ignore those who care for you you will have lost diamonds while you were collecting stones

I agree. Do more of what you love to do. It is a short ride....

I would say the past 10 years of my life are like a teeter totter, between the spotless perfect home and chores and the living life aloud. The past year I've tilted the balance and found myself happier than I have been in years. Oh and my house is less clean. I'm so over it.

we...go do those things you love...then come back here and tell us about it! "All you'll get from strangers is surface pleasantry or indifference. Only someone who loves you will criticize you." - Judith Crist, crack film critic
