Life is neither short nor long; it is what you make of it. It doesn’t matter where you find yourself. Pause, take a breath, and pat yourself on the back for making it this far. We are not owners; we are custodians. You have been dealt a hand. Work with it, and make it so, that it becomes easier for those who come after you. You will inevitably have regrets, but look for ways to have fewer. Be kind to yourself, and, in turn, be helpful to others. We are all in the same boat. We are all ephemeral, transient, here for a short time.
