brevity
This was a difficult week. Busy at work because of our market (when buyers come to see our new product) but primarily b.c one of my co-workers lost her mom. It was unexpected, and thus doubly hard. When you see someone you admire and respect so fragile it is hard. The priest at the wake spoke about the brevity of our lives, how we must use our days wisely. I’ve been thinking about those words since-what does it mean to use this brief lifespan well? Certainly, to use your days well it must mean forming good relationships, doing honest work, contributing positively to the common good. For me, it also means having faith despite hardship, much like my favorite saint. http://www.americancatholic.org/features/francis/ I’m working on all of the above. St. Valentine’s Day was also this week. I saw a gazillion mylar balloons floating by. http://www.balloonplace.com/catalog/valentine.html Crikey! They are so hard to stand next to on the 5 train! Anyway, St. V had me feeling a bit nostalgic. . .remembrance of things and people who are no longer in my life. One person in particular. Is it a sign of maturity that I only wish him well now, that the anger has faded. I hope it’s a sign or maturity.
