The upside of all this, however, is the fact that knowing that life has a deadline means that I should try to live each day as if it were my last, cliche or no. I don't have forever to do the things I want to do.
And perhaps that's one reason why some very successful bloggers have decided to call it quits. As for me, no way — but it might behoove me to get back to more of the "we" time BG and I had and to do all the things we've put off doing, whether it be traveling or trying to meet new people or further exploring the city we love. I'd hate to think that our only consolation if we got bombed out of existence would be that quitting smoking and eating right would have been a waste of time after all.

I quite agree with your general premise, Elvira, at least as it applies to my own behavior: given an infinite amount of time in which to accomplish something, I would very likely accomplish -- nothing. There's nothing like the scent of one's own mortality to provide a bit of inspiration.

Lisa:
"The scent of one's one mortality"--what an apt way to put it!
