i'm so mortal

July 23, 2009 - 9:10pm — sox

Tonight while I was out on a dessert run, I followed two teenagers skateboarding down a hill. They were both crouched down, going as fast as they could go, in the middle of the road. I was going about 55 km/h, and they had no trouble staying ahead of me. Neither of them were wearing any protection whatsoever.

I was busy thinking about how much I disapproved of what they were doing when I realized that's the entry into adulthood...when you realize you are mortal.

way too many reminders

I've had lots of reminders of this mortality business lately. Nothing like death to remind you to enjoy every day you have. Not sure I would go about it quite like those skaters, but I did get a whole lot of joy out my day with a delicious lunch date with my husband, some laughs at work, good talks (even if they were on the phone), a good walk home, and enjoyed the sunset. Savour it in your own way!
