Harsh? I'm thinking more like "realistic" based on my own experience. I don't put my heart and soul into "things" anymore, been to way too many estate sales to do that one.
Grant it, some people thrive on aggravation, I'm not one of them. I'm also not a control freak, I think there is only one thing you can control, your own attitude, not your neighbor, not even fate.
In the past ten or so years I have had my home totally destroyed by lightning (great view still), I lost 5 house pets (4 burned alive in the fire), 3 horses, my 56 year-old sister died last Christmas after spending 5 years in a nursing home from a stroke induced coma. Let's put the shrubs in perspective.
You know what I've learned from all this-Enjoy today, you don't know what tomorrow will bring or what it will take away.
Ever see a moving van folowing a hearse?
