POPSSmall Doses of "Reality" Really Are Helpful Too much coffee or too much reality? The second is my guess: “The thing with the army is, you have to keep up. It don’t matter if you’re not as fit as the rest, if you can take the pain or can outdo your peers, you’re ok. The army’s all about being there for each other, we push each other. I’d do anything for my buddies. Back before we deployed, we’d get up at 4.30 and run for 8 miles. I hate the cold, but they stationed me in Alaska. WTF?” “I love jumping, but jumping out of a plane in Alaska in winter? WTF? I love to surf. I’m from California and me and my buddies surf all the time. You gotta get on the board right. I can’t snowboard though. I get back from surfing all day and I watch TV.” “In Alaska when you go running when it’s negative 30, you can’t touch your eyelashes ‘else they’ll just fall off.”

POPSA Good Death Sigh . . . If you could pick, what would you choose? To go young and healthy? To be in a nursing home with a failing body and in pain? Heart disease? Cancer? Suicide? All I can say is that I've had a near drowning and it was the most peaceful way to die imaginable. No suffering. But I'm glad I survived it, I'm glad I know what I know and I'm glad I had a marriage and two beautiful daughters who wouldn't have had their life without me. This particular woman's character amazes me. We all think we can make our own reality, when in fact we are in control of very little in our lives. Celebrate every moment of your lives; tell those close to you that you love them often while you still have time.
