sketchbook project + tidbits on life

I started out not really knowing where i was going with this...

before i knew it, i was halfway done & had forgotten to take pics...

I guess art really does laugh in the face of "time".

:-)

So I may add a few little things to this, but you get the idea.

On another note, i read something this morning

that I want to share with you all.

It was written by a woman who's worked in palliative care 

for most of her life.

She cares for people who only have a few days or weeks left to live.

Here are the 5 most common regrets of the dying:

1. I wish i'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

2. I wish i didn't work so hard.

3. I wish i'd had the courage to express my feelings.

4. I wish i had stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish i had let myself be happier.

No one said:

I wish i had made more money.

I wish i had won the argument.

i wish i had travelled less.

I wish i had been more perfect.

Think on these things today,

and live YOUR life.
