Die Die Die

I went into the grocery store just now to pick up some groceries after work, for dinner, and a man came up to me whom I had chatted with some time before. 

He's elderly and he said that he retired from his job in Seoul and is now in the construction business here in this city. His plan, he said, is to make as much money as possible, then go to a poor country and use his money to assist with development. Then he said, it would be time to die. He said, "I will die. You will die. Everyone will die. Die die die." 

I said, "Yes, we will all die, so I agree that's a good idea to think about how we are going to spend our time." 

The country he really wants to go to is one of the poorest, but also, he said, one of the most dangerous. So, he listed some other countries that are less poor, but safer. 

That conversation was a great way to end a really good day. Tuesday and Thursday are my busiest days. Today, I put everything outside my control outside my thoughts and worry and just tried to do what was best and possible in each situation as it came up. I'm really happy with the way my work turned out today.
