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:
- Fold fitted sheets
- Fuss about splitting a restaurant check
- Use coupons
- Hold a grudge and harbor regrets
- Finish reading a book you are not enjoying
- Read newspaper articles that are irrelevant
- Drive ten miles to save a dollar
- Worry if one’s socks match
- Watch stupid television shows
- Live unconsciously
Life’s plenty long enough to:
- Stop at yellow lights
- Take a trip
- Take a nap
- Play a few games
- Contact a friend
- Go for a walk
- Cook a meal
- Write a bit
- Send a thank you
- Brush twice a day
And on your lists?
Off to the Y to soak my knee in the whirlpool.
