The End

At the end of our lives, for one thing we are not always aware we are at the end of life. No one knows for sure when it is we will see our last sunrise or sunset, give or receive the last kiss and hug, say or hear the last kind, weird or worrisome word. We like to think our days are not numbered and limited, that we have more time to reflect on the richness of the days we lived and loved and meant more than we could ever convey and made life worth living.

The depth, breath and scope of our lives goes through the predictable growing pains as well as aches and breaks, bang-ups, hang-ups and blind-sided punches no one saw coming. Life's woes render stretch marks that only become more visible as time goes by. We evolve into better people seasoned by life and experiences, painful and precious, priceless moments. Weather, consciously or sub-consciously one becomes better instead of bitter at living life in such a way that we develop a sense of graciousness cultivated by an acceptance for as the Serenity Prayer say's; ...Accepting the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.

If life teaches us anything it is to go with the flow as one constantly adapts and modifies in order to keep oneself together and at peace, especially when life blind-sides you by throwing blows to the head and heart. To recover in due time, God speed regarding the healing of open wounds that ooze the bloody, sun scorched stench of raw and bloody burns, open wounds and bruises brought on by every little and large thing possible. All of it, the messy, mind altering, heart stopping, completely joy filled times and ugly, hurtful things that make us wish things were not so.

In the end, we hope for a peaceful ending, satisfying and painless close of a good run. We aspire to make our exit on good terms with the people who loved us to death. The End
