PLOG 22: The End?

My Personal Log (PLOG) continues in this time of pandemic and protests...

Apparently the calendar/math was off and the Mayan predication about the end of the world has now been recalculated to... June 21, 2020 (which is about a week away).


Woot. The text explains...


While I doubt the world will end on June 21, it does bring up the question: If you only had a week to live, what would you do? Reflecting on your life, what do you wish you could do before you die, and what is standing in your way?

I'm proud to say that I've enjoyed my life. I've accomplished my career goals. I've travelled all over the world to the destinations I wanted to see. I've been a mentor/teacher/leader to a lot of people; I've led numerous students to success winning awards and championships, as well as helping students to get published and win scholarship money. I've found love, allowing myself to love and be loved. I've raised 2 spoiled cats. I've written some powerful poetry and interesting stories. Along the way I've also had amazing times hanging out with my friends. I'm sure there are things I could complain about (if I wanted to), but I'm really happy with how things have turned out in my life.*

*Other than these external factors, like the pandemic and the unpredictability of our current politics that are spiraling into violence and death. I suppose what I am saying is, for the things that I can control, I am happy.

Be safe out there (and I'll be safe in here)!
