Member-only story
As anyone who has attained “a certain age,” as Gen Xers like me have, are no strangers to losing loved ones, colleagues, and acquaintances.
I could write at length about the pain that my family and I have endured with the loss of numerous relatives, one of whom passed away at the tender age of twenty-six.
But the purpose of this is not to make you consider how short life can be, but as somewhat of a preface to future stories about what I have learned from some of these folks and, more importantly, how some of those lessons could apply to you and make you contemplate your own life a bit.
To say that I procrastinate is somewhat of an understatement. Perhaps the understatement of the year, although the year is still young.
I may not be the worst that there is, and a major part of my own self-help journey is to improve upon this shortcoming. I even have a draft story about how to improve upon it but, of course, I have procrastinated for the past entire year in completing it.
