One thing I hate about being idle is thinking about the future and what might happen. I do not know why but lately I have been thinking about death. Morbid huh? Wild thoughts are going through my mind. No, I'm not thinking of suicide but more of what if I die?
I know we are mere mortals on this planet and it is inevitable but it has been on my mind lately. I was mortified of dying before but lately I have come to terms with it. Scary but true. I guess it is part of getting old, accepting the fact that it will happen eventually. It is depressing but it is a fact of life. It is bound to happen. A friend of mine once told me she's not afraid to die, in fact she looks forward to it because she will be meeting her Creator. :) I guess I should look at it that way.
All these thoughts because all I can think of are our children's future.
But I saw a quote from Buddha that says: “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” It is absolutely true. I should enjoy my life today, cherish every moment with my family and not worry about the future.
Anyway, hopefully these thoughts will end once I go back to work. I will be a busy bee by then.
