Knowing what will happen tomorrow is a fantasy game we play with ourselves. It keeps us from most panic attacks and paranoia. But we really can't predict.
To Live Simply
~ William Henry Channing {1810-1884}
To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich;To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never;To let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.This is to be my symphony.
I hope you always hear the music.

I lost my husband to a massive heart attack, 4 years ago.
I can't think of anything in my life that's been more difficult to endure.
Those first months, I truly wanted to be dead. I didn't eat. I would stay awake 2 and 3 days at a time. I went through two boxes of kleenex every day.
I didn't tell anyone on the net for at least two years. Someone once asked, "you never talk about your husband, anymore - how is he?"
I wrote, "he left me. i was kinda hard to live with."
I am soooo sorry for your friend's loss. When she's up to it, please give her my warmest prayers.
