A Woofer The Size Of The Trunk

What if we could look forward to death? Since we look forward to all the other major life events – birth, adolescence, marriage, retirement – why not death?

I mean seriously, it’s not like it’s not going to happen.

Pink Floyd is one of those bands that crosses generations in it’s popularity, and there is a line from one of their songs, “Is there anybody out there.”

Reflecting back on yesterday’s post, that question, and then that song, just popped my mind.

Is there anybody out there who wants to share insights on dying well?

If we do some advance work, the event itself won’t be an overwhelming event that devastates us.

Any takers?

Cats In The Cradle

It was hard wasn’t it?

How can you pick one single solitary song, when there are ten’s of thousands, if not hundred’s of thousands of songs to pick from?

So, after re-reading the list from yesterday’s blog post, it just hit me this morning.

“Cat’s In The Cradle“, by Harry Chapin is my all-time favorite song.

Our son will turn out just like me. This song reminds me everyday to be careful what I say and do.

What about you?

Simplicity is Complicated

Simplicity is an elusive goal sometimes.

Ok, simplicity is elusive most of the time.

But so are a lot of things that are important.  Should that stop us from our pursuit?

There is only one, resounding answer to this question.

And maybe by tomorrow I’ll have my movie soundtrack song(s) to share with the world.  This was a fun, and frustrating, exercise.

And anything but simple.

Should have seen it coming.

Pick One

What song did you pick?

Two days ago, I asked, “If your life were made into a movie, what would be the featured song?”

Okay, so I have a confession.  This question is too difficult to answer without considerable thought.

I mean, it will be the song featured on your movie’s soundtrack, right?

My other challenge?  I’m sort of a music connoisseur and have way too much to choose from.  Most of us are like that – the love of music.

Think about it and I’ll see you tomorrow.
