Have you ever thought about this?
In 100 years, like in 2123, we will all be buried with our relatives and friends.
Strangers will live in the homes we fought so hard to build, and they will own everything we have today. All of our possessions will be unknown and unborn, including the car we spent a fortune on, and will probably be scrap, probably in the hands of an unknown collector.
Our descendants will hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us. How many of us know our grandfather's father?
After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone's bookshelf, and a few years later our history, photos and deeds disappear in history's oblivion. We won't even be memories.
If we paused one day to analyse these questions, perhaps we would understand how ignorant and weak the dream to achieve it all was.
If we could only think about this, surely our approaches and our thoughts would change. We would be different people.
Always having more. No time for what's really valuable in this life. I'd change all this to live and enjoy the walks I've never taken, these hugs I didn't give, these kisses for our children and our loved ones, these jokes we didn't have time for. Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all they would fill our lives with joy.
And some of us waste it day after day with greed, selfishness and intolerance.
Every minute of life is priceless and will never be repeated, so take time to enjoy, be grateful for, and celebrate your existence.

No play in the pool area for a while. We had a problem with a black mould which is caused by the airborne dust lifted by the work in the new estates in the area. It’s not dangerous to our health BUT in the last week, green mould has rapidly taken over and it IS dangerous to our health.
Our new pool guy can’t come until Monday and he’s going to hit the water with heavy duty chemicals so it’s going to be a week to ten days before we can use the pool. This is problematic because it’s freaking HOT!
Anyway Harley and I are playing fetch without the cooling assistance of the pool. Harley gets over heated after ten minutes and it takes a good 45 minutes to cool down and stop his rapid panting.
We already miss the pool.
I spent a good portion of the day in The Bay with BGWLBH.
We were hoping to pick up our usual egg order but since the Happy Hippy’s dog travelled over the rainbow bridge, the foxes now come onto the property and one of the chickens was taken, sending the others into shock and they are not laying.
Very sad for the chickens AND us.
We’ve had some good storms tonight with heavy rain. Without looking at the gauge, I’m guessing that we’ve had around 40mm of rain, maybe more.
It’s time for bed now.
Nite all.
