Brannan’s Bay Ridge: Making the dash count
There are 168 hours in a week, around 730 in a month. To some it may sound like a lot, to others too little. I used to be fond of the saying, “live every day like it’s your last,” which is quite possibly the easiest thing in the world to say but the hardest thing actually to do.
Most of us probably struggle just to live it “one day at a time.” Real life quickly gets in the way of following your every whim so I don’t say it as much anymore; I just try to live it as best as I can – while being mindful not to neglect paying my rent and bills!
At a friend’s funeral, as I tried to ignore the footsteps of time marching in my head, the priest recited a famous poem by Linda Ellis called “The Dash.” Look it up if you’ve never heard of it.
