A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Tell yourself, when you feel exasperated and out of all patience, that this mortal life endures but a moment; it will not be long before we shall one and all have been laid to rest.
 
[ὅταν λίαν ἀγανακτῇς ἢ καὶ δυσπαθῇς, ἀκαριαῖος ὁ ἀνθρώπειος βίος καὶ μετ᾿ ὀλίγον πάντες ἐξετάθημεν.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

Life is too short. No one knows how short, but it doesn't matter. We can't control world events, but we can at least be kind to those we see and interact with. Smile and say thank you as we may be the brightest point in someone else's day. #kindness #smile #lifeisshort

Be our guest, be our guest, put our service to the test. Friends, your room is ready. Don’t be long. #VisitYourFriends #MakeRoom #SendInvites #lifeisshort

Live fully. Live now. Don't wait. Be careful of overpreparing. It's easy to make excuses, wasting time waiting for something to fall into place.

"The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live…. How late it is to begin really to live just when life must end!"

Seneca, On the Shortness of Life (quoting Epicurus)

I'm choosing to not do captchas any more. No more clicking the motorcycles, bicycles, cars, stairs, or buses. Life is too short. When offered I will close, change proxy, etc. #noMoreCaptchas #refuseCaptchas #ISeeNoStairs #LifeIsShort

Collect moments, not things. Memories last forever. 🌟📸 #TravelMemories #LifeIsShort

Timothy Cruso, the namesake of Robinson Crusoe, considers what would constitute sinful extravagance as per Luke 16 and our prayer for Daily Bread. A full table is no prob. But you’d be pushing it to suggest that a life of constant superfluity pleases a God who suggests we ask for Daily Bread.

Are we very large interpreters today?

GH Gerberding, Lutheran synod president, writes on the conversion of a jailer in Acts 16. Hands that directly carried out cruelty, upon receiving mercy, now wash and clean those feet. Exercising mercy is a sign of having obtained mercy. Is this a measure many would accept today?

If we are called by our duty or contract to do difficult things, can we find ways to knock off the unnecessarily harsh or cruel edges from the tasks?

On occasion I enjoy a cocktail. My favourite vodka is Black Tusk Smokey Vodka from Raincity Distillery. So good that I sometimes pour it over ice and sip it with nothing added.🍸 Sadly, this bottle is empty now. 😞 #vodka #cocktails #LifeIsShort #enjoyment

Time is Precious; Don't Waste it Waiting for the Right Time – the Time is Now. #PreciousTime #Proactivity #SeizeTheDay #NoWaiting #LifeIsShort #MakingMomentsCount

Oh BTW, after swimming with 30 foot whale sharks, adrenaline and dopamine levels go all the way up to 11!

@Tardis @ChocolatePie I agree, there’s been a few in many years with me and it’s certainly doesn’t resolved anything however if people want to talk about things to resolve, the best thing to do, is to do it calmly and both be kind or otherwise you have to move on from it. Easy to say but hard to do. #LifeIsShort #BeKind #AskForHelp

Haven’t quit my day job (yet), but I’ve taken the next big step to being a full-time artist.

Say hi to my new Southern Vermont studio! 216 square feet with track lighting and shelves, Northern light, and the view ain’t bad either!

So have binged the whole of #HappyValley in under a week, finished a slice of Tunworth and *checks* a bottle of Primitivo and am raring to go, despite the most deadening of Altman's work on screen #Images. #LifeIsShort
