Too bad to die young
Had an interesting train of thought the other day....an old friend, K, started it.
I was telling him a little about some medical troubles I've been having. Nothing major. Just stuff to get over. He commented that I'm too bad to die young. Ok..it was worth a short giggle.
But I got to thinking about it...It's not that I'm bad. Well, not really. I guess it's more that I feel like maybe I haven't been very good at living. You'd think after 31 (eek) years I'd have a better handle on it.
I just don't know..I feel like I've not focused on things that are really important. I haven't honestly been thankful for every bit of the life I've been given. Most importantly, I'm not grateful.
More on this. Soon..not months from now. Promise.

Well, I have a whole year on you, and generally feel like my life is just now about to start (and that I am only NOW beginning to figure things out). There are times when I'm tempted to think I've wasted time, but instead, I usually think of it as a slower form of progress than I would have chosen if I had full control over things, due to the current I'm swimming against being stronger than I bargained for.
And as for being too bad to die young - I'm sure I am, LOL .. but I always use the phrase "too mean to die young" as in: my grandmother isn't going anywhere anytime soon - she's too mean to die young, lol ;)
