Found out someone I know through work unexpectedly passed away this weekend. Folks at her company were in shock, as was everyone at my company when they told us. She was only a few years older than I am – not a youngster, but hardly old by any means. I worked with her pretty regularly, and I know she worked so much and so hard for that company, and was just a freakin’ force of nature – and now she’s gone, and I keep wondering what she thought she still had time to do once she was done working for a living. She went to Cape Cod every year – I don’t know if she got there this year or not.

Another reminder that life is fucking short.

Buy that hat.
Drink from the fancy glasses and use the good china, just because.
Go to that museum exhibit.
Take that trip.
Wear that pretty necklace to Starbucks, even if it is with jeans and a t-shirt.
Order dessert.
Use all your damn PTO.
Go to BOTH DAYS of the 2 day arts & crafts festival.

Don’t wait.
