Thought for the Day

Life is not a journey to the grave

with the intention of arriving safely

 in a pretty and well-preserved body,

but rather to skid in broadside,

thoroughly used up,

totally worn out and

loudly proclaiming

 "Wow....What a ride!"

I saw this years ago, laughed and thought not a bad sentiment.  When I saw it again today, it had much more resonance.  Because I'm older? it's fall? I've just finished a grueling 5 days of drastic diet?  Probably the last.
