I had a friend at work who would come to my office at lunch time and remind me to stop working and have lunch. I’d be stuck on a problem and want to keep working on it, and he’d insist that I stop. He say that if I took some time away, I’d come back with the solution, and he was usually right.
He would also stop by my office at the end of the day to remind me to go home. I worked with him almost 20 years.
He retired in November of 2023 and passed away in June of 2024. I still miss him.
That life isn’t a fairy tale. Some live the “ideal life” and a lot of others don’t. I’m one of the don’t and need to be reminded that it’s not abnormal, things don’t just work out for everyone.
What I came into the room for.
My meds.
Life doesn’t last forever.
To bring my nice camera with me when I go on trips.
Being happy all the time is not a realistic goal. Being content is.
I forgot.
That action is almost always better than reaction
Uhh … that, uh … that thing I’m supposed to do. Um …
I dunno what it was… some kind of fraction?
Everything
Oddest one. That I’m supposed to have sex.
