Live well; do it now; and SMILE!

You are a beautiful person, Doctor. Clearheaded. Strong. But you seem always to be dragging your heart along the ground. From now on, little by little, you must prepare yourself to face death. If you devote all of your future energy to living, you will not be able to die well. You must begin to shift gears, a little at a time. Living and dying are, in a sense, of equal value."--Nimit in "Thailand

It's almost therapeutic driving there and driving back (to North Carolina), with the time you get to think about things as well as create checklists.

You can live as a ghost, waiting for death to come, or you can dance.
