perspective

Last week I took a trip up to Idaho. Since there is not much to do in Idaho I had lots of time to think. For some reason one morning I was thinking about death. My Mom has given me this example about a ship. How on one side the people are sad because the ship is leaving, but on the other side the people are excited and saying 'here it comes!' While in Idaho I kept feeling like there was something that I needed to be doing back in my life in Utah that I was not accomplishing while in Idaho, and how good it would feel to get back to my life. I started thinking about death and how maybe the person is relieved once they are dead cause then they feel like they are finally where they are meant to be and able to do what they are meant to be doing. While here on earth we get so caught up in mundane trival things, maybe once we are dead we realize that those things don't truly matter and then we can focus on what really matters most...
