I have a dream to live in a small house in a small country town. There I would get into all that nature has to offer. Being single does brings some reservations about doing this. Maybe as you did, there will come a day when I have the courage to make that move. Thank you for the reminder of how fast times goes by and the importance of enjoying it.

I truly want to be in business for myself and also be the only one to manage my finances. I feel this pressure on my heart to do this. One day I'll have no more tomorrows, so I want to make here and now count. Thank you for your thoughtful, excellent article.

It's great to hear that out of a tragedy, no matter how horrible, positive things can arise. Life is indeed a precious gift and it is wise to savor the time that we do have. No one knows what may come, but we must be grateful for here and now! If only more people realized this before it's too late. Thank you again, Vlad Hi Shirley,

I hope you take comfort in knowing that your friends had already taken some pleasure in that future simply by dreaming it and making the choice to start living it. Not only that, but you were able to share in the joy of their future dreams, and help them to live it out in some small way before everything changed for them. Thank you for the blog, I am enjoying it. That is a sad but inspiring story.

If there ever was a reminder that life is short and can end or change in an instant, this is it. Choosing life over continuation was amazingly brave and empowering, but really the only choice you had if you wanted to get some control back. Absolutely stunning story.

How tragic for your friends...but wonderful that it brought some good in how you've chosen to live your lives. I'm trying to figure out the mechanics of down-shifting (less work, more life) because you are so right, time is short. New to your blog, thought I htink I've stumbled on it before some time ago...it's brilliant. Thanks so much for writing it :) Wow, what a thought-provoking story.
