What does each day mean?

Happy Sunday, bbs.

I had an amazing Italian dinner with some people I love over the weekend and it made me want to keep trying to learn Italian on my little app and go there next summer. I want to eat and drink and do all the Italy. I have not been to Italy since I was a teenager. Over the long dinner with many drinks, we talked deep about things. Life. Time. How long anyone has left. It was a beautiful moment when we all agreed across the table that there was probably enough time for happiness but not enough time to be careless or scared or stubborn maybe. I am really trying to lean into this thinking.

There is enough time for happiness and Steve Winwood is playing While You See a Chance right now. It feeds me. I fully encourage you to revisit SW. He is such a badass.

& then the sad news today of Mimi Parker’s death. So young. Low ruled. I ran across the 2022 episode of the Sheroes Radio podcast, where she revealed her diagnosis.

She said, "I think it's important to — when people get a diagnosis — some people have a tendency to ask why, why me," Parker said. "I never had that. It was always, why not? We're all subject to whatever random this and that happens. ... So that has just changed my perspective completely. “Our time can be cut short and what do we do with that time that we have," she continued. "We try to make each day mean something."

Make each day mean something. This. Rest in Peace.
