Thank you for sharing that Jerry!
My husband lives like this. He believes that life is short and those who you love should know that you love them. He is a much better person than I am. I spend a lot of time in my own head fighting with thoughts and expectations of how I think life should be and of what is expected of me. I miss out on just enjoying the small things and being there and loving him. As you said, the only thing you can control is your thoughts, actions and the way you feel about something. I can change me, I should not be trying to change him to fit what I think he should be.
Thank you for the thought provoking read.
