R.I.P.

A neighbor and friend died Saturday evening. Finally at ease after several years of declining health. Leaving a wife of nearly 61 years and 3 children. "Someday" is no longer an option.


Every death reminds us how fleeting our time on earth is. Every death brings our thoughts to those we love who have gone on ahead, as well as those, who are currently struggling to hold onto their life, and those, who are young and healthy and may be gone in the blink of an eye. Death is indiscriminate, it follws no set path.


Time to "clean house"! In our hearts, minds, and our physical surroundings. The darkness of Saturday evening was followed by the bright sun the next morning. And Monday brought a layer of fresh snow, presenting the World as a fresh white canvas to begin a new painting of the future. Each day a new beginning, hopefully we will use it wisely, learning from the mistakes of our past. Not someday-


Today!
