I'm not complaining. But, I try to keep my lunch time free so I can sit at my desk and look at TE before I go back to reality....
Well, that puts a lot into perspective. That is some heavy stuff. My job offers its own reality checks, they're not nearly as stark as yours.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
