Random Questions

First of all a few things I must say. Congratulations Allie!!! Masyn is BEAUTIFUL. And sorry for not writing, it seems time slips away sometimes. First thought- Do you think we are put on this Earth just to die? I approached a couple random people with this thought and got a few different responses. My response is this: How can we be put on this planet to die if we never live. What I take from this: that everyday we have to live like tomorrow may never come. I have learned that I can no longer take things for granted, that I can no longer sit here and work 80 hour weeks and watch the days/weeks/months/years go by. Life is too short to work my life away. I have spent more time with people I truly care about and that lately has put my spirits way up there! I am currently painting and re-decorating my house (well decorating to begin with is more like it). I painted the main area and kitchen a dark beige and maroon red. Then the spare bedroom and my room are bright pink and a pale green. I LOVE them. Second thought- Is there any such thing as true happiness? My response to this: No. Maybe I am being pessimistic here and please correct me if I am wrong but is it not true that whenever we get something we want, there is always something else or more that we think we need? When we lose something we finally realize that we had something we truly needed and may never be able to get it back. I almost seem to think that we were created to believe there is always something more out there for us but also that we are to always want more and to never be satisfied with what we have right in front of us. Lately I have had a lot of situations where I sit back and say to myself "I love being here and couldn't ask for anything else right now'. It feels great to be able to do this and I would wish this upon everyone else. Third thought (and I think the last one for tonight) - What do you think would happen if the world was run by fish? This thought actually came to me one night when I was lying there on my back and could not for the life of me fall asleep. My response: We would all live in these little glass bowls and I can just see it now that to find a mate we would have to draw a # and wait around for the next viewing of the 'colorful male species'. Ha ha what a silly thought but seriously it went through my head. And all we would eat would be weird things like flake food and blood worms (eww....) Anyways, it would sort of be like the Jetsons (anyone else remember them) where we drive around in bubble cars and get to have oxygen for fuel. OK I think that's my que that I'm done with my thoughts for one sitting. Have a gooder everyone :)
