Thanks, Janine. Yes, I find that a very complex statement, worthy of contemplation. It’s important to discern what things are worth going for (and what of the status quo is worth changing/fleeing), but also what satisfactions are already there if we dare to pay attention.

You’ve got your priorities straight–especially the chocolate!

oh! and what would I do if I knew time was running out? I’d definitely eat a lot more chocolate and triple cream cheese. And I’d fall asleep next to my kids every night. Unless they were already teenaged boys. Because that would be weird. In that case I’d just stand in the doorway watching them sleep. Because that would not be weird.

I’m going to think about that one a lot.

Kudos to the box office for their kindness and thanks for writing about the episode
