I know that you don't like to think about death that much. It's uncomfortable to think that you won't be around forever. But none of us walking around today are leaving this place alive. I am 100% certain of that. We are, in fact, all terminal.
Do you have a "bucket list?" Have you ever written down the things that you really want to do or accomplish before your hour glass runs out of sand? I have to admit that I have thought about it but never committed my thoughts to paper and pen. Until now...
When you are faced with the reality that you or your loved one might not collect a social security check, your life changes.Things that you thought were important lose significance. Other things become more important. I used to live and breath golf. It was nothing for me to drive two hours to Monterey, play 18 holes, eat lunch and head home. Leave at 430 am and be home by 3 pm. You couldn't pay me to do that now. The most meaningful thing to me now is to spend time with Christina. A glass of "bubbles" or sharing a pizza with beer is more enjoyable than playing Cypress Point, believe me. Having dinner with friends beats a round at Pebble Beach every time. Eating oysters at Tomales Bay with her and Buddy? Better than Augusta! OK, maybe not. If anyone wants to get me on Augusta, I am totally there...:)
So what's on your bucket list? Is there someone that you have been meaning to reach out to but haven't? Do it! Clean off your to-do list. I'm not talking about your regular to-do list. I mean the one with important stuff. The floors can wait a day. Cut through all the clutter in your mind and drill down to "the nuggets" of your life. Do it today, please. And let me know if you have an "in" to Augusta, OK?
