These are great reminders about life and a few things really hit me. GREAT STUFF! PS Suicide is the hardest type of death to deal with (I've dealt with three and made an attempt myself so I know what I am talking about). I have a lot of empathy for those who have lost all hope, and sometimes even if we listen, even if we believe they will do it and watch them constantly - if they really want to, they will find a way. Dave,

Here's what strikes me: Those who know me best know that over the past few years I've become very passionate about people following their passion in regards to how they choose to make a living. I cringe inside when people say that your job doesn't define you, it's just what you do so you can support your family and do things you enjoy in your off time. That's not only a load of crap, it's a cop out. Why should any of us, father, mother, sister, brother waste our time doing something that doesn't inspire, enliven, and recharge us. Not even the excuse of having to support your family is legit because you aren't doing your loved ones a favour by denying them the empowering influence of living with a person who feels fulfilled more often than not. It's a wonderful enough thing to even just begin to long for something more and ponder making a change. At least that's a start in the right direction! Any ways, this is a good list and worth tucking away to reread once in awhile. This is so excellent, it truly is.
