I'm off to another funeral this morning. (I can't believe how many people I know have died this year.) As I lie in bed writing this, here's what I wonder:
If I knew for a fact that all my efforts would never be accounted for, that they would neither be debited nor credited in the Great Ledger of Life--that indeed there is no Great Ledger--would I do anything different than I'm doing today?
And miss out on all the joy of life? I don't think so either. :)

Neither would I. I would rather enjoy my life than let it pass me by while worrying about getting a line in that ledger.
ReplyDeleteLOL. My grandmother used to say that the problem with growing older was that you had to watch all your friends "flake off."
ReplyDeleteMaybe its good for us. Keeps us knowinng that it's just nature's way.
Best,

How true, Carolyn. Yet another reason for having multi-generational friendships.
