"LIFE IS BUT A VAPOR"

Today I got to thinking about relationships and how confusing we make them at times. I find it intriguing that as human beings we will treat, much more harshly, those people with whom we have close relationships. We will say and do things to them that we would never even consider saying or doing to a stranger or acquaintance.  As perverse as it may sound, we tend to unload on the people we trust the most. So it's actually a compliment, a reassurance. I think we can all agree that there are a lot more pleasant ways to express the same thing.  Have you ever heard a genuine description of a last hug with someone loved? It's never been genuinely or accurately described because we don't know when that hug is the last one. We all have people in our lives that we genuinely love but unintentionally routinely neglect in some way. Lets all do better. There are precious people in my life and I want them all to know I love them. May we all do better. Life is a vapor, here oh so briefly and then, poof, gone.
