“At the end of life, at the end of your life, what essence emerges? What have you filled the world with? In remembering you, what words will others choose?”
—Amy Krouse Rosenthal
I would always want to remember that there are about a thousand different things that I want to do and achieve and explore; and one lifetime didn't seem nearly enough.
I hope it's only at the very end when it doesn't matter anymore, even then I hope it matters...
I want to achieve...explore...feel...be....live.
At least we can try to spread the word and why not? to join the cities of the world.
Lets all be romantic for an hour using candles and words to cherish our loved ones. No worthless TV' shows, just valuable time!

Day 6.
Nothing much has happened to me today so I will share one of my favourite obsessions (as if those of you who know me don't already know this), that being spellings and grammar and the use (or misuse) thereof.
Let me get one thing straight right away - I try not to correct everything I see that is blatantly incorrect - I value my friendships far too much for that to get in the way but it means that I sometimes have to grit my teeth or look away. It really doesn't matter to lots of people whether they write 'there' when they mean 'their' or 'your' instead of 'you're' ... and it shouldn't matter to me - but it really does eat away at me sometimes. Typos are a different matter - as are misspellings in chat or text - I'm referring specifically to things people have written and had the opportunity to look over and correct - but didn't.
I am old enough to have sat through countless spelling tests at school, in the days when a greater emphasis was placed on the importance of such things. Now it's all about creativity and expressing yourself - but I don't see why those two things can't go hand-in-hand. Some people get it, some don't, and some don't care. I can try to live with that, but if you see me mentioning it, please don't hate me - I really can't help myself.
(And may I say that I don't count people here who don't have English as their first language - I have nothing but admiration for anything they write and say - I'm just talking here about people who speak English as their mother tongue). You know who you are! :D
