Brittany Murphy dies from apparent heart attack

The grip any and all of us, celeb or not, and old or not, have on this existence is rather more tenuous than we like to think.

As always, written with such eloquence...that might be my, albeit morbid, QOTD.

...., albeit morbid,.....

It is, indeed, a bit uncomfortable I will admit. And it's certainly not a cheery thought, but once we've each had out noses rubbed in that fact a few times, you reach the conclusion that Lee outlined in the post above, though I'd have put it slightly differently. Don't put off the important things in life, like making your family happy, because tomorrow might not come. Don't let a sour feeling linger after an argument, because you might not get a chance to apologise. And above all, don't fail to make the most of each day, because nobody knows how many more he or she has. We don't have to dwell on the unpleasantness of the situation, but an awareness of it can make your life better, not worse. Don't waste your days, because you don't have a limitless supply of them, ..... so make 'em all count.

...someone's been reading "If" again...

True, nonetheless .

True, nonetheless .

If?

Kipling?

"If" so () ..... coincidence. Reading poetry is not my favourite pastime .... it comes some way behind root canal surgery.
