On the topic of time and tombstones

Glory me, it’s been a few months since my last confession (um) blog! It isn’t because I haven’t had much to say but more a case of not quite knowing how to say it. Even now, I sit and think and think and sit and wonder what topic would the readers of this blog be interested in? What is truly on my mind is the topic of time. How much of it do I have left? How much of it do you have left?

And the reason for thisĀ topicĀ is this… If you were to die today, what would your tombstone say? Terribly morbid isn’t it, but it’s a question I ask myself often. In fact I pose it to my colleagues too much to their disgust. But it is the one question that is really important to answer. Because it’s a reality check. It’s asking and answering whether you’re happy doing what you’re doing… right now. So here’s what mine would say… Here lies “coffee lover”. She lived and loved.

What I would like it to say is this: She lived and loved with passion. And those two little words at the end dear readers, is what makes all the difference. I am happy with what I’ve achieved thus far. I am content doing what I am doing. BUT I am missing the passion! The very essence that makes me me.

And that is why there has been no blog for four months. Because every time we commit our thoughts to writing we take a good, long look at the reflection of our soul.

Deep… but sweet.
