Thinking...
I don’t like Mondays, for some reason I wake up on a Monday feeling really depressed about having to get up and go to work. Today was no different as I dragged myself out of bed and got ready. I read the paper as I ate my breakfast and saw that someone I know had lost their battle with cancer. She was only in her 30’s. Then there was another death notice for a 20 year old. Suddenly I wasn’t feeling so bad. I felt grateful to be able to wake up in the morning and be around my loved ones, and go to work and do something meaningful and be around people I like. No one gets a second chance.
A couple of weeks ago a young guy had an accident up the road, his car got hit by a train. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since it happened. His poor parents and siblings. When they said goodbye to him that day, did they have any inkling that they would never see him again? Probably not. It maybe would have been a day like any other, with an ending they’ll never get over.
I went and saw “Click” the other day. It was good, but in a way worrying. It got me thinking. Life does go so fast and you can’t slow it down, or pause during the best times of your life. Life goes on as it always will. And that’s a scary thing.
