...but I'll make it up tomorrow.
____________
Tomorrow is MLK day and I have off from work. I love MLK day and tomorrow I will list a few of my favorite quotes from that remarkable, valiant man.
But today I want to talk about getting to the end of life. I'm surrounded by people at the ends of their lives all day at work. Every now and then they share a glimpse of remorse or regret from things done (or not done) in their lives. I can only imagine sitting at the end of the road and looking back on 75 years of decisions. There are things that at 25 years I look back on and regret, but 75!
It makes me realize just how human we are, just how mortal and decomposable. At the end we are all boiled down to being exactly what we are, merely man. Even if at the end your estate is worth $2.7 million. Or even if at the end you are behind bars. Death waits for no one. It is the great equalizer.
