"Life Goes On"

Of course it could all be over before I wake up in the morning....or don't wake up I guess.  I'm trying hard to frame my worries around the idea that none of them will matter once I'm dead.  When I truly manage to embrace the idea, it gives me a great sense of peace.  Of course for it to work you have to be able to embrace the thought that today could well be your last day!  Because it could you know!

Think about it.  When your dead, and for that matter probably for a few weeks before that, if you get some warning, you won't care about your bills, you won't care about your aches and pains, you won't care about your messy house, you won't care about the dent in your car, you won't care about your leaky roof, you won't care about your stupid job, you won't care about your idiot neighbour, you won't give a shit about anything!  You know why?  Cause you'll be dead...or damn near as the case may be!

And you know what the beautiful thing is?  If you won't care then, you can probably stop caring now.

Just do it!  I'm having a glass of milk, a cookie and an ice cream and going to bed to read my book.  And the only thing I'm gonna choose to care about is that my wife meets me there later.
