They have a vital role to play in balancing out all the annoyingly cheerful people!<br /><br />@Boo: Yes, it certainly has been all about living in the moment until now. Planning was never one of my strong points, but I am finding that being able to look forward again is starting to feel quite exhilarating.J-in-Waleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02390582364341730481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189321271545893193.post-91806130415447676832011-02-26T23:18:58.148+00:002011-02-26T23:18:58.148+00:00You know those "Insights" profiling thin...You know those "Insights" profiling things that corporates tend to use for team-building etc? Well I re-did my profile out of interest to see if I'd changed since Cliff died. And I have. My profile is now yellow - meaning, "lives in the moment". LOL.<br /><br />Yes this teaches us that. But the sad thing, as you say is, that we can't share the moments with them.<br /><br />love xxBoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695496303699631884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189321271545893193.post-56794308932151267142011-02-26T15:54:46.446+00:002011-02-26T15:54:46.446+00:00We had just made our latest travel plans the day b...We had just made our latest travel plans the day before matt drowned. So many things to see and do in this world. I used to be such a traveler. Now, I must say, I am still feeling the "yeah, neat things to see. So what? He isn't here to see them with me, so why go." I think because I feel like nothing is up to me anyway, wanting anything, wanting to do anything, seems ridiculous. Phht.

Contentment and happiness are worth more than all the possible 'experiences' put together.<br /><br />@Debbie: "Bucket lists tend to require extra money": Ain't that the truth! Or time, which I guess is why we save them up for our retirement - and the way the British government keeps raising the retirement age, I shall be too decrepit to do them before I have the time!J-in-Waleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02390582364341730481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189321271545893193.post-40210747975002577772011-02-26T02:39:17.662+00:002011-02-26T02:39:17.662+00:00"When you think you have a 'normal' l..."When you think you have a 'normal' lifespan stretching in front of you, it is so easy to let things slip or pass by because there will be plenty of time to do them later." So very true, J. After Austin died I had a few regrets of things we put off for many different reasons. I now try to live with carpe diem as my motto, and if I could only win the lottery, it may become even more possible :) Bucket lists tend to require extra money.

Ya, ya we said, thinking we had all this time before us! Little did we know! But still, we were contented and happy so that counts for something. But there are things, travel things, that we never got done. D was a GREAT traveler! The best I have ever met. I'm not one to travel alone.Cicero Singshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438108795744902961noreply@blogger.com
