I find myself in a reflective mood this week and it’s made it difficult to focus on subjects I would normally write about. Yesterday I heard that a friend I’d worked with a few years ago passed away this Sunday from what was probably a heart attack. I hadn’t seen him in a number of years but he was of such a personality that he’s stuck vividly in my memories, even to the point that I can still easily hear his voice in my head. He was only three years older then I. It brings home how temporary our presence here is, and that one shouldn’t waste one moment being unhappy.

I am feeling reflective too, perhaps on account of all those lakes I looked into last week.

Yes, we need to remember how transient it all is.
