Observed, to the Angel’s feigned delight, that if life were a business proposition few would invest - and your accountant and his bottom line would be in despair. The calculation does not add up. What, in the end, do you get for your continued efforts, and despite swallowing the whole of a Vitamin B capsule to smooth the ride? NOTHING. That’s what.

Shakespeare says it best:
“Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
I f you don’t enjoy living you’ve wasted your life. (OK, that’s simplified too much.)

Yes, good old Shakespeare, his wise cracks always to be relied upon – thanks for that.
As you say “Waste not want not”. However, I do WANT. And yes, I do enjoy my life, even the shitty bits (mainly because they make me enjoy the good bits even more).
HAPPY NEW YEAR, Cynthia. May your next zero, March 2013, be a happy occasion.
Much love,
Ursula

Oh, Ursula, even if you don’t arrive at a specific destiny, was the journey necessarily wasted? I don’t think so! Risking one whopper of a cliche, life is a journey. If you keep your mind open and alert, you won’t be disappointed even when stuck in the mud.

I get stuck in the mud a lot. Now I say to myself (sometimes) “This is an interesting Challenge;” instead of ^&%$@*((#@!!!

Hey, that’s progress in my book–plus, saying all those symbols is hard work!

I didn’t exist for such a long time. I like it much better now. Non-existence was boring. In fact, I can hardly remember it.

Yes, Charles, but what of the future? It’s one thing to never have arrived, it’s another being forced to leave the party.

According to the magazines, science is on the verge of discovering a cure for death, and pretty soon we’ll all be living forever. Of course, they’ve been saying that for years. So far, the only thing that seems sure to be renewed is the subscriptions themselves.
I don’t really like parties, Ursula, but I hope this one lasts as long as possible.
