remember that it is all temporary

A few weeks ago a man I knew slightly helped me in a LARGE way with a project at work. I saw him again last week. He was 72, a big Santa of a man, funny and with a great heart for people. He was killed yesterday in his own front yard just doing some gardening! Struck by a car. Unbelievably sad. No one expects to go out to do a bit of gardening and get run down in one’s own yard. Just another example of temporary.

or would you rather spend your time and life doing things that make you and those you love happy and smiling?

A new friend of mine here in the wilderness reminds me of how I used to be with grace under pressure. Her business has taken a downturn like all of our businesses and yet she maintains a spirit of optimism that I strive to emulate.

She does nice things for her employees…like appreciation dinners and lunches. She is celebrating the holidays with friends and family.

She is not letting the day to day stress take it’s toll to the point of paralysis where I let it go.

Since I have a choice I am not spending anymore time with misery. :)

Is ill. It’s his heart, it’s beating too fast He’s 73. I hardly know what to think.

I really want to go to Texas for Thanksgiving and see my children.

Life is far too short to be lonely and away from home.

to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t, and believe
that everything happens for a reason.

If you get a chance, take it.

If it changes your life, let it.

Nobody said life would be easy, they
just promised it would be worth it.

‘Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. And enjoy your life.’

I received this in my e-mail this morning and wanted to share it with you.”

I have a new affordable internet advertising venture for Montana businesses that will provide me immediate cash flow. I met with the publisher last weekend and see that this is an exciting project!

I have also decided to renew my real estate license and get on with what I do best…helping people get into their homes. I have been out of that game long enough!

Feeling much better now that I have a definite direction.

that is bouncing through the wilderness came to visit me last night.

Been sleeping most of the day and still feel really bad.

the Universe has opened up and a multitude of opportunity has fallen from the skies.

People are backing me in all 3 of my business ideas in ways I had no idea would happen. I even got a P/T work at home job that I can do on my own hours over the Internet.

Guess if I throw enough mud on the wall something will stick. :)

out of town for the first time in ages. Saw some areas of Montana I hadn’t seen in many,many years. Had a business meeting for a new venture. Did some clothes shopping at one of my favorite department stores that we do not have in the wilderness. Spent time with a wonderful friend who has been a huge blessing in my life.

I needed that break more than anyone could realize. :)

It seems that we are attached to all things, things that in a time of crisis or in a time of need have no use or meaning to us… They become and they are just things… Everything is temporary, impermanant. In the blink of an eye, things can change from pure ecstacy to sheer misery,such is the nature of being human… It stands us in good stead to remember this… Living is a series of moments…
