    To not stop and dance at every opportunity.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    g, I think you've walked that walk many a time. Always a class act, you are.

    not to put on your red shoes and dance the blues?

    I dont understand this catching fireflies in a jar nonsense. It just seems mean. I did catch them as a kid - in my bare hands though. Or try to get them to land on you like butterflies.

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Old? Well then I must be... ah but we're not old, RKCNDY, we're... now wait, just today I heard a guy 10 years younger than me refer to himself as "old".

    Ahhhhh shucks, old it is. :lol:

    .....to hurt people's feelings by saying nasty things

    Could not agree more. I lost my brother, my best friend, late last year.

    We were so close, we said nasty things to eachother. He's knows I loved him, I know he loved me.

    But now I am here regretting some horrible things I said to him. Even though apologies were made while he was still with us, doesn't matter now.

    They were hurtful, vial words that I have to live with and regret with every fiber of my being.

    Life's too short, be kind to one another.

    I understand exactly where you are coming from, but don't beat yourself up about the nastiness that was before. Siblings do that stuff, it's kinda tough love in a family. I know he loved you and you him, death unfortunately makes us all replay too many past conversations, some not so nice....

    Thanks for the kind words RK and Jogill, much appreciated.

    I just want to emphasize, think before you speak. Dont let anger and pettiness make you say hurtful things to those you love, just because you know how to push their buttons.

    As the thread title says, life is too short to be nasty. Its not healthy and it serves no purpose. This includes giving the clerk behind the counter shit because you're having a bad day.

    Just breathe and smile. :).
