Word got to me today, that one of my clients passed away. I’ll be honest, I was shocked. She was only 9 years older than me. She was loud and always in a hurry. I guess I just assumed she had a lot of years yet to go.

I read an article about always keeping death in your peripheral vision. At first I didn’t like the article, But I have reread it several times since, and I agree now, keeping death in the peripheral line of sight helps to keep me moving forward. Death is inevitable, and even though we do not have a clue to our timeframe, we know it’s coming. There is no magic age at which we can slow down, or be done. Our end could come tomorrow or in 50 years from today. The author of the article said that she keeps a skull on her desk, to keep her perspective in the right direction. I have a huge list of things I still want to be able to check off before my time is up. Maybe it’s time to get a skull for my desk, to remind me to keep moving forward… there is no time to waste.

REALLY?

I went into the salon this morning and waited for the lady in front of me to finish signing in. Her belongings were all over the sign in desk, including her disposable facial mask. As she stepped aside, so I could sign in, I pointed to the mask, laying on the sign in sheet (that everyone signs in on). She said “Oh, yes that is mine!” As she picked it up and put the community sign in pen down, to put the mask on, she said “Four of my friends that have had the covid vaccine, now have covid! So I am back to the mask!” She then lowered the mask to speak to the patron. My only thought was “REALLY?”

CHANGE

3:58am

I took 2 sleeping pills before bed. I limited my liquid intake. I made sure my pillows were perfect and I have my favorite blanket in just the perfect arrangement. So why do I wake up every night and lay here without sleeping? I’m tired. I can mentally put myself into my “zen spa” and listen to my breathing. But I’m still awake. I just don’t understand.
