It's good to take a break every once in awhile from "pretend life" (blogs, seminars, micro-fame) to enjoy "real life" (our children, walks, museums). I learned the lesson that Albert & Laurie are learning now very early in life--my father died after suffering a fall during a relay race at my third birthday party. He was 36. http://www.skimbacolifestyle.com/2009/03/3-life-lessons-i-learned-from-my-parents.html Two weeks ago, my OB/GYN's husband, an orthopedic surgeon & triathlete, died at age 48 while on a ski lift in Colorado. He was there to watch two of his five children compete in a snow boarding competition. An autopsy revealed severe heart disease--completely undetected & undiagnosed. Enjoy your time off and savor it--and then vow to take that time more often. Danielle,

I love how you wrote that you allowed yourself to be affected. Too often, we try to brush things off and try to force ourselves into robots saying that "that's life" and going back with our daily activities. Doing so, we overlook the beautiful things we take for granted- like going to museums, calling friends and family, and appreciating everything around us. Thanks for the inspiration! Sometimes we all need a little reminder :) what a beautiful article. I love how you wrote that you allowed yourself to be affected.

Working on the "how" - and concentrating on the "can do." Get out and boogie. This post made me really think about one of my "to do" things. Working on the "how" - and concentrating on the "can do."

From: Jesus, Life Coach By Laurie Beth Jones My friend Joe Mathews shared a poignant story with me recently. His best friend's wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given a short time to live. Joe said he watched in awe as Dan and his wife, Christine, began to live each day with tremendous clarity and love. When it was nearly the end Joe finally got up the courage to ask Christine the question: "What does it feel like to live each day knowing you are dying?" She raised herself up on one arm, and then asked him, "Joe, what does it feel like to live each day pretending that you are not?" Thanks for sharing Danielle. Years from now, are you going to remember the day you spent blogging or the day you spent at the art gallery with your son? <a href="http://www.spiritualzen.net/index.php/2009/03/26/how-to-remember-today-years-from-now/" rel="nofollow">How to remember today, years from now</a> I was reminded of something from a book.

My mom just passed away quite unexpectedly after being diagnosed with advanced liver cancer. We had our contentious moments throughout our relationship, and now that she's gone, I have so many regrets about letting the day to day business of life get in the way of spending time with her. We did have the chance to forgive and love each other while she was ill for the last week of her life, thankfully. I have a renewed passion for seizing the moment to love those important people in my life though. The garden, the recycling, the car repairs, the laundry and errands can all wait. Get thee to the phone, say I love you, go to the park, the art museum, the zoo! Love! Your post is so timely!
