It's getting a little scary. So many people I knew are dead, even the one singing the song I'm listening to right now, the Carpenters. About all the movie actors that I liked are dead. It's a little depressing.

Two more persons that I worked with died this week.

Yep. The older you get the more you seem to "hear" about someone dying. This past month I heard about
an old JW friend passing away from cancer and she's only one year older than me!! That has weighed heavier on
my mind than it should, but I think it's because growing up a witness, we didn't properly prepare for the sureness
of REAL death. We KNEW we would not get old and DIE. We were supposed to be in the New World by now
dancing among the daisies and lion cubs with our loved ones. So every time we hear of another one dying, it
just reaffirms the fact that it's going to happen to us one day, too.

Hi, Ken.
I'm only 34.
No wisdom to share with you.
Just wanted to say that I like your take on things and I'm glad to be acquainted with you, albeit from afar.
Hang in there.
I'm sure it's not easy.
I guess all any of us have is right here, right now.

I have always felt bad that an individual has to starve themselves to death. I think about her death every Christmas. The song Merry Christmas Darling was a wonderful song to listen to when watching the snow fall, and the lights twinkle.

I guess I have loved living so much that I hate the idea of it leaving me. Nv, it seems such a short time since I was 34. Enjoy everyday you can.
