We just celebrated my sister's 70 birthday and this year she hiked the 500 mile Camino de Santiago pilgrimage and you know my brother and his wife hiked the entire Appalachian trail. They have my admiration.<br /><br />I am not one of those people who love's life. I am often depressed and have thoughts of ending my own suffering of life. (Don't push any panic buttons on my account. I feel fine at the moment.) I admire those who daily celebrate life by the way they live it. I wish I did.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-86983461340971039292011-01-13T19:40:05.661-05:002011-01-13T19:40:05.661-05:00Something I think about a lot now too, since I'...Something I think about a lot now too, since I'm in my ..ugh... "late fifties." As they always say, "Consider the alternative." <br /><br />Per Jayne's comment, it's so true, I read the obits now and always think "they were too young" even in their 70s. And I get really mad if the paper doesn't say what they died of. I guess I have the idea that if I know what they died of I could somehow prevent it from happening to me. Which of course is absurd.Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-80674001447609530572011-01-13T11:27:29.277-05:002011-01-13T11:27:29.277-05:00YEP.

Except now, that means they were in their 60's. Funny how our perspective changes.<br /><br />That is so very sad about the elderly couple. How tragic, but at least they were there with one another to offer each other comfort.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057094040409159429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-81691081212466675392011-01-12T20:25:51.117-05:002011-01-12T20:25:51.117-05:00Along that line, I find myself actually pleased to...Along that line, I find myself actually pleased to shovel snow these days.
