What I Won't and Will Miss

Nora Ephron made a list of note about what she won't and will miss.  She died yesterday and I hope she doesn't miss a thing.  Read her list here.

Nora's list was inspiring because I had not thought about what I would miss when I leave this life; I tend to miss what leaves my life and I had not pondered what I would not miss.

The view in my pod in which I sit at this time is obstructed by white cloth panels so my perspective and accuracy will be obstructed, too.


What I will not miss

1. Travel time.  I imagine thought and experience will be spontanteous.
2. Failed communication.  I am not effective in conveying what I really mean.  My new world will be all about mind reading and intuitive understanding.
3. Heart break.
4. Cleaning house, though the times I turn on the music and get busy let me think it's not so bad.
5. Cutting down trees.  These pictures touched my soul
6. Weeds in the garden
7. Humidity and extreme heat.
8. Dispising getting wet in the rain.  I imagine it to be delectable.
9. Being inable, financially.
10. Waiting for replies
11. Being ignored
12. Work
13. Bills
14. Feeling lonely
15. Wearing shoes
16. Child abuse
17. Animal cruelty
18. War

What I will miss

1. My children, Clay and Ava
2. Clay's hilarious sense of surprise and intelligence
3. Ava's tenderness, innocence and lovingness
4. Having my hair played with
5. Feeling my back rubbed
6. Watching my dogs play in the yard
7. Karen Surratt
8. Getting wet in the rain.  I'll be angry for never appreciating it
9. Writing
10. Tasting great food
11. The feeling of sex and experiencing oneness with my love.
12. Being a teen
13. Being a mother
14. My physical body because I'm so connected to it at this time, it's proof I'm me.
15. The coast
16. The idea of being at the coast
17. West Virginia and Kentucky and home
18. Having coffee and smoking
19. That feeling when the house is clean
20. Acting silly and being a big goofball
21. Learning
22. Reading Emerson

I believe more things belong on this list but keep in mind I wrote this while sitting at work.  Missings may get another blog post soon.
