THIS is why people have children. They not only make you immortal but they give you an opportunity to rediscover the world and really notice things. They reorder the universe for you. Plus, you get to play with playdoh. Plus, they make me laugh. And if you can't laugh, you shouldn't be here.

Eh, I'll skip the kid thing, but I'm a firm believer in stopping and smelling the roses (or appreciating them seconds before running them down on your new $8,000 custom-made mountain bike - whichever approach works for you...) - life is too short to not appreciate it. (And stores will sell playdoh to adults - you don't have to be accompanied by a kid to buy it. Really. Trust me on this one.)

I've been through a major family illness/passing on thing, and although it's really hard to deal with, it gave me some perspective on life and my place in it. I wish you well.

I feel exactly the same way about books. I also just don't understand how some people don't read. I'm always in the middle of a book, even if I haven't looked at it in a couple of days because I've been busy. When I ask people what they're reading at the moment and they say "nothing" it just rocks my tiny world.

Paragraph #4. I love you <3 I already did, but that gave me chills.

Thank you for the reminder about appreciating and living life. I love the way you put it.

I don't know if a pony would fit in my apartment, but I agree with the notion all the same. People who won't try sushi or curry suck ass. Spicy raw fish ass.

I'm stuck in a hotel in Austria and I'm kind of drunk. Thanks for updating and I hope all goes well with you and your family.
