Just Do It

Change need not be a hazard. It can be a brand new start.
Thinking up potential problems puts the horse behind the cart.
Just think of what you want to do and set about creating
what it is you want to do. Life’s not best spent in waiting.


Today’s prompt words were haphazard and change.

    Very true; however, research indicates that even positive changes are huge stressors. Marriage shares second placewith divorce among the most dangerous stressors. The first one is loss due to death, and the third is a new job, even a better, coveted one.

      When I wrote my book on grieving with Tony, he noted that I was experiencing three of the top five stress-inducing experiences all at the same time: death of my husband, move to an unfamiliar place, quitting my job and I believe there was another one, but I can’t remember what it is. I should read my own book again.

    As we entered our 7th decade of life, Paul and I started to remind each other that our life is RIGHT NOW. No more waiting until we have time/money/freedom. The time to live is right this minute.

      No. When we went to Big Spring, we stopped by forottenman’s family plot and this was one of the graves. Someone had scrubbed it off so you could see the name and dates. Wish they’d done the rest of the stone as well. If we’d had the time I’d have done so.
