I can relate to that so very much. I feel like I am stumbling through life somedays, promising this, running from that, wanting less, wanting more. This is true for so many of us! Thanks for sharing!

Last year I was on a really horrible reality tv show (I survived a japanese game show) and I underperformed, missed my kids terribly and was basically just an utter fool, at the time I was horrified at my craziness, now I am kind of proud. I am sure I will act like an ass again soon, but I am going to save this quote, so I can refer to it. thanks maggie But boy oh boy is it hard to embrace that fool.

I was thinking earlier about my grandfather who passed away at age 92, at his own doing, who died on his own terms. He 'acted the fool' and had an amazing time doing it. By doing so, he brought a light, humor, and joviality into lives that otherwise wouldn't have existed. And that folks, is why I do not begrudge him his suicide. At age 92, he deserved to leave the world on his terms. 2 years ago I wouldn't have said this, but now I do. Thanks Maggie. This is awesome.
