I think sometimes it takes a death or near death experience, to realize that maybe what we thought was so important, maybe isn't quite as important as we thought.

Coming out of surgery and finding myself paralyzed completely on the left side and facing a long rehab was the end of the world for me, until one of the Doctors mentioned that they gave me less than a 2% chance of coming out at all.
Kinda makes a whole lot of other things not quite so important, and I try to remember that when ever I get upset over something...doesn't always work though..
Just a thought.

Good post Jay, thanks and my condolences for your friend.

Jay,
Thank you for saying what you said!!!

I too have found the argumentative stuff to be nonsensical and have wondered why people waste time like that. Life's too short to spend it all in a wad, over something that in the grand scheme doesn't matter one hoot.

I'm sorry to hear of your friend. I got some bad news this week as well. The wife of a dear friend has been diagnosed with cancer. Really makes one re-think what's important.

Very well said, Jay!!! Teaches us all perspective!!

[Larry James]

As many of you have said, perspective. That says a lot. Change what you can, don't worry about the rest.

About 4 weeks ago, a good friend of mine stopped by and told me he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer on his 57th birthday. The surgery went well and he is recovering.

When he told me he had cancer I could not have been more shocked if I received that diagnoses. I'll be 65 in December - thinking about perspective.

Thanks Jay, there are times when we need someone to remind us of perspective and priorities in our life.
