“Augustus, perhaps you’d like to share your fears with the group.”
“My fears?”
“Yes.”
“I fear oblivion,” he said without a moment’s pause. “I fear it like the proverbial blind man who’s afraid of the dark.”
“Too soon,” Isaac said, cracking a smile.
“Was that insensitive?” Augustus asked. “I can be pretty blind to other people’s feelings.”

It’s 12  : 09 PM on day 1387 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, watch TV, read Psalm 74,  publish my Disablity of the Day feature, promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – still on 89% (God help me)  I know two people who would donate the $104.60 I need to reach goal but I won’t ask them to because they are retired I can’t possibly put them in a position where they have to say no to me it’s just wrong I want to reach my goal but I would never ask people to sacrifice themselves to help me God will help me reach my goal another way  –  practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles and stretch my hamstrings.

Yesterday afternoon I watched The Fault in Our Stars – a movie based on a book about Gus and Hazel who fall in love knowing they would soon die of cancer – I cried during some parts of the movie because it’s a true reflection of life we all know that none of us get out of life alive and yet most of us choose to live and love to the fullest.
