Much love and many hugs are being sent your way from my little part of the world to yours. I love your post, love it. I might print it out and hang it on the fridge, because it's all really good advice. I can hear you reading it. :) Thank you for sharing your wisdom and heart with us.

You are not unknown to me : if you scroll down and down to nov.2 you can see that I was thinking about your thursday-13, yes meanwhile this has become a famous concept :-) (P.S. I can't point you directly to this log because I haven't figured out yet how they number it) and on nov.10 after writing a long long T-13 I didn't post it after all (too personal I thought).<BR/>I read your T-13 post last night, it is very shocking to loose a person so suddenly and very confronting for ourselves too as you translate it in your 13 things to do. It lingered in my mind and I dreamed all night of being with close relatives that are dead.<BR/>You are right that this is not uplifting, but it is very much part of life too, so it certainly belongs in blogging too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-1164396666668987942006-11-24T14:31:00.000-05:002006-11-24T14:31:00.000-05:00A genuine post.

Although so many of us feel sometimes that our choices are limited or we can't have things go our way, your list points out how many areas there are in which we have choice and control... and these are the areas that make our lives richer and more meaningful. What a wonderful post!

I'm going to work on it. <BR/><BR/>And like you, I owe some people a call and an email. The emails are written in my head but I've not gotten around to writing them - I should.
