Today's he's about 95 better, and the lingering effects are hardly noticeable. We talked about stress and living in the moment. the point that struck home was when one of us said half jokingly, "you know, you have to ask yourself at the end of the day, if I get hit by a bus tomorrow morning, did i enjoy today? If not, that bus may just as well hit you the day before!" Interestingly, I had lunch a few days ago with a friend who had a severe stroke two years ago at age 47.

I need to reduce the noise. I love learning new things and find I'm always going off down rabbit trails, leaving less attention to the 20%. I have had an online business for the last 10 years, but because of distractions and noise, have not put 10 years into it! I find I'm getting better at disconnecting from the unpleasant and appreciating the inner of my own self and others'. Maybe it comes from getter older and wiser...finally! Thanks so much for this profound post. I love this! I need to reduce the noise. I love learning new things and find I'm always going off down rabbit trails, leaving less attention to the 20%.

Might help to remember, at times; like you, anyone and everyone can err; like you, everyone and anyone can act nasty; like you, everyone and anyone can speak in haste ( without meaning at times) Now is imp for tom but now is also not going to remain forever- life is a phase and all the joy and happiness we get from whatever we do is fluid, is highly slippery, as our mind and heart only yearns for more. Keep connected to be disconnected..works other way around too!..be connected to your inner self to be disconnected by the unpleasant or temporary phases of life/people/things.
