Life on Life's Terms
Gratitude
"That's how this
book ends?" my son asked.
"With you counting your blessings?"
"Yes," I
said.
"You can't use
gratitude as your topic two days in a row."
"I can. I will."
"I still think you
should have less about gratitude, and more about zombies, vampires, and super
villains. Just saying."
"I'm grateful for
your input, son."
Gratitude.

Lessons from a lying laptop
Later, that night I was
working on my laptop. I clicked the icon
for my battery. A message popped up
saying I had 45 minutes of power left. Five minutes later my laptop abruptly
shut off. I was reminded of a quiz I had taken online that predicted I would
live to be 89.7 years old. I hoped I didn't shut off abruptly sooner than
that. I thought about all the
assumptions I made every day about how much time I had with the people around
me, to do things I enjoyed, or to complete certain tasks.
My laptop taught me two
lessons. One, Jason The IT Guru was
wrong. Computers were capable of being
dishonest, and loved misleading people.
And two, I needed to get the most out of right now.
I will
get the most out of today.
