Let me be the first to welcome you ...(Scot Writing)<br />Let me be the first to welcome you to the afterlife (at least within your blog comments). How about an Irish Wake?<br /><br />Funny that I was just thinking of you and your YtoL on the drive home from rehearsal tonight. Even I (as a casual acquaintance) learned from your practice, not the least of which was you "Blue Sweater" post - in fact that had a great impact as I tend to hoard the nice clothes and wear the same things over and over.<br />But really, I've been thinking of the idea of YtoL. I haven't read the book or done the practice, but the Imaginary Cliff Notes version tells me to do all the things that matter, to tell all the people who matter that they do, and to make myself matter, at least to myself as I look back. <br />Is that close? If so, I love that you did it now. It's not too early. You were/are at a place to learn from it, and isn't it better at an age when you (statistically) have more years ahead of than behind you? Isn't it better to learn how to live while you still have life to live, rather than as a bitter old creature like Scrooge? Think of the pain you saved Tiny Tim....<br /><br />Bravo. You continue to inspire, often where you least suspect it. Live on Beth.<br /><br />with love and respect (and the offer of a drink whenever you choose to claim it),<br />Scot<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
