A lot has happened in the past 20 years. And you were there to experience it all with me. I'm pretty sure I didn't catch all the lessons the first time around. But I did learn a lot. Like when it's sunny you should go outside.
And that fireplaces aren't really a great place for a fire, but they are useful for lots of other things. Don't dwell on the negative side of what life throws you, turn your fireplace into a candelabra....or a cat playground.
Never be too busy to stop and smell the flowers. Or pet the cat. Laziness is a fine art and we should all hone this skill. There will always be wood to chop and water to carry.
Be comfortable wherever you are. Because you are always in your own skin. So like who you are. Taking naps amid chaos is also a great skill; you can be the life of the party even when you are sleeping.
Don't let physical limitations stop you. Who cares if the couch is suddenly farther away than it used to be? The dogs still fear you and the human slave will help you magically levitate to wherever you want to go. Because you always took great care of her and she wanted to do the same for you.
Quilts are products of love and were meant to be used. No matter whether you sleep on them or under them, no one can hurt you. They are magic.
Friends and family are what it's all about. Treat them how you want to be treated. A lot will happen in your lifetime, no matter how long it is. Thank you for every moment. You made the journey this far very bearable. It certainly hasn't been boring. You are missed.
