> [..] talk about death always gets to me At some point during the Covid years, I turned a mental page and decided that 'carpe diem' is my new motto. Not in the traditional "bucket list" sense, until Covid I had a mental list of places I [thought I] wanted to go ... and experiences I [thought I] wanted to have. Daft stuff usually involving long-haul travel and/or hard to get to places. I've ditched all of that. Now it's about seeing people. Mundane stuff (but not mundane during the Covid years!) such as taking our kids to see their grandparents. Taking time off work to visit my sister, who lives 1000mi away, and partially due to our rather complex relationship, I've not actually visited at any of her various homes for <hangs head in shame> just over 20 years. Encouraging/enabling my wife to make time to visit her parents, who also live a long way from us. Life has a habit of sneaking up on you when you're not paying attention. Seize the day (while you can).
