If there is anything I've learned in living on this planet for just about 50 years, its don't blow the time you've got. We all get sick, get hurt, feel bad, want more, get irritated and short tempered, and sometimes we just plain old can't and more frequently don't want to move toward some painful point or position in our lives.
Living with Parkinson's Disease for the past 10 years has made me acutely aware of the time I have left... and that the time I have left is not guaranteed by anyone, anywhere.
DON'T BLOW THE TIME YOU HAVE LEFT BY SQUANDERING IT ON SOMETHING PETTY.
Make PEACE when you can and politely and patiently WAIT until the time is right when you can't. Say and mean YOU are sorry when YOU say you are sorry. Get over YOUR pride, because only YOU own, gauge, and set the level that you work and live with.
What's more important? The pain YOU feel and carry? Condemnation and retribution? Forgiving and forgetting? It truly is YOUR call and YOUR decision. I hope we can all get a bit closer to each other during the time that remains in each of our lives.
When we die, we lose all second chances to make a difference.
Campy Out!
