Thoughts while folding laundry…

A strained knee, limiting my ability to hike and bike, has gotten me contemplating my own mortality (again). 

Life’s too short to:

1. Fold fitted sheets
2. Fuss about splitting a restaurant check
3. Use coupons
4. Hold a grudge and harbor regrets
5. Finish reading a book you are not enjoying
6. Read newspaper articles that are irrelevant
7. Drive ten miles to save a dollar
8. Worry if one’s socks match
9. Watch stupid television shows
10. Live unconsciously

Life’s plenty long enough to:

1. Stop at yellow lights
2. Take a trip
3. Take a nap
4. Play a few games
5. Contact a friend
6. Go for a walk
7. Cook a meal
8. Write a bit
9. Send a thank you 
10. Brush twice a day

And on your lists?

Off to the Y to soak my knee in the whirlpool.

I do like my socks to match. My feet feel funny if they are different textures or weights. The rest? Oh, yes.

To each his own, I guess. I remember packing for a speaking gig and bringing two black dress shoes - both for the right foot. I gave my talk wearing my tennies that time!
