Tell me your favorite song

I have been spending a lot of my nights on the patio at the 24 hour Starbucks across the street from the Medical School. It was a gorgeous sunset tonight.

I really don't believe there are any coincidences in life. I believe in fate--that everything that happens to you happens for a reason. So maybe I don't have all the answers, but this I know: regardless of how frustrated I am with him, meeting him was definitely not a mistake in my life.

We met, we lived, we loved, and then we went away...it was a time I will never forget. It was the first time in my life that I had lived completely impulsively. If he taught me anything in life, it was to stop and smell the roses. I will never forget those "whiskers" on his face. If his face fades from my memory sixty years from now, the whiskers will remain with me. I will never forget them, him, what we had, and what I now realize it all stood for.

When was the last time you stopped to enjoy a sunset? a sunrise? a good song?...to smell the roses? If you can't remember, its been too long. Do these things. Do them once a day, every day, for the rest of your days. You won't ever regret it.
