The computer will still be on...
The bills won't disappear...
That proposal I'm writing will still be on my desk...
That to-do list will never get any shorter...
The video projects will keep coming in...
Gas won't get any cheaper...
My calendar will never be vacant enough...
There will always be more work to do...
There will always be rooms to clean...
There will always be clothes that need washing...
The list goes on and on and....
...but my only living blood grandmother will not
...and my grandfather will not
...and their cards every single birthday and holiday will not.
Catering to "the list" usually results in shafting the family.
...the friends.
...the important dates.
...the important moments.
Here's to putting the important things on top of the list...
...and shafting the rest.
It's better that way.
