...to have spent 7 hours pondering this thread and come up with nothing.

Life is too short

...to obsess about why people don't do what you want them to do. (Make me stop!)
...to worry about what other people think.
...to spend it with negative people.

Life is too short to continually carry this big ball of anger that I insist upon not letting go of.

...to work at a job you hate, no matter what they are paying you.

....watch the oscars.

....send your dog on a cruise.

Life's too short ... to live as if life's too short.


Yeah, it's generally a good thing to realize our time here is finite, and could end at any moment ... and thus to live life to the fullest, and drop all the stuff that doesn't bring ourselves and others pleasure and goodness.

But it's also something of a mistake to fixate too much on life being too short, even as inspiration for all of the above.

Life's not too short. Life is fine, life is good (especially mine, which is just as it should be).


Perhaps a fruit fly's life's too short, or your darling doggie's. But our time on earth is - barring tragedy - good and long ... long enough to accomplish everything we might want, and be everyone we might want to be.


Celebrate life. Live it, baby. But not because it's going to end. Just because it IS.

...or not girthy enough

......not to wake up in the morning and realize what cool things just might happen during the day.

... too not take your dog for a walk.
...too allow a group of people too affect my destiny
...taking those risks in sporting events that could have made the ending a different story, ("coulda", "shoulda", "woulda") (I know they are not words.)
... too not allow children to learn something that might be of great interest to them

Shame I missed this one. Must've been in Utah.

Life's too short...

... to obsess over what I can't change.
... to forget what I do have an impact on.
... to worry about how someone pre-salted and pre-peppered the remainder of the cottage cheese
... to be irritated at the seemingly non-stop construction on the other side of the fence.
... to put off being healthy.
... to shy away from it.
