A life worth living; a life worth blogging

There are people in my life that remind when I need to put out the garbage and when I need to put out the recycling. They remind me when we're low on groceries and need to go shopping. They remind me when I get behind on my household chores, or as we call them in our household, my duties.

There are lots of companies that will remind me when I've gotten behind on a bill payment. Particularly if it's their bill I'm late on.

I don't have kids, but I'm sure if I did, nature would remind me when it's time to feed them, or time to change their diapers.

Duties, duties, duties.

What I'd like to have in my life is people to remind me about my music, or my writing. Those people who ask, Did you take out the garbage?, if they would also ask, Did you get to spend any time this week on your song?, Did you get to spend any time on your writing?, Did you get to spend enough time on your video project?

When I get to the end of my life here, if I look back and all I can say about how I spent it is I kept my house clean. I paid all my bills on time. I always showed up to work on time, that would be pretty sad.

Doing my duties is important; they do need to be done, but that's not what's important about life.

I want to get to the end of my life and be able to say I wrote a book, I wrote my songs, I made videos that made people around me happy - that would be a life worth living, and a life worth blogging.
