lots of stuff to talk about and, then again, nothing at all.

not much in the way of hunting for treasures.

mom is again on the roller coaster of health. this takes takes over my mind and energy. it creates a lot of thought on the old-age issue. do we want to live past 80? 90? for me, the jury is not only "out" but i believe on vacation.

as with most things, life/living should be quality versus quantity. recently i've run up on this situation a lot more than i'd like to. a few friends are caught up on this merry-go-round of indecision, guilt and hope - their folks being "at that point in their life" . when we hope the sick/old will continue to live, is it for us? or them? i think - us. they will be at peace. this may sound cold but it's not.

had an acquiantance tell me that her husband died in surgery. it provided her with a certain kind of peace. he had had plans when recovery was complete - plans to celebrate the second chance he was being given. he left this earth never suffering and with plans of future fun. we and our loved ones should be so lucky.

tomorrow, i shall visit mom.

friday, if all goes okay tomorrow, i will be junking.

so for tonight and every night, let's all go to bed with plans, hope and dreams . . . .
