Facing the circle of life this week. Depth of emotion overdrive. As my mom-in-law always said, "Growing old is not for sissy's or the weak of heart." So ironic this lovely women lived to the age of 78 after having open heart surgery at the age of 30. Proof that love alone, freely given, gives one the strength of a thousand men.

Yet another example of why I take time to smell the flowers, exercise my ass off to stay healthy, and appreciate every little nuance of every moment in life to its fullest.

Life IS too short...
