Who knows anything for sure? We think we know, we do our best…mostly, and still we just don’t know for sure. I remember a Garfield button my mom gave me long ago. It had a picture of that orange cartoon cat saying…Exercise, eat right, die anyway. My mom and her bits of wisdom…priceless!

It says something about the impact of this simple little bit, that I even remember it thirty-five years later. I can tell you, it did not sink in right away. I chuckled and probably threw that button in a drawer. This many years later, though, I find myself more at ease and appreciative. I remember Garfield.

The wisdom: keep your life in perspective and learn to take a wider view. Don’t get too stuck in one thing. No need to be so serious all of the time…enjoy yourself. We have just this one opportunity, we call it a lifetime, to be and do. Choose wisely. We never know when our time will be up.

Thanks mom…and thanks Garfield.
Appreciating my life as it is,
Paula
