RE: The winter that may not come at all
Don't think too much. One day at a time. You can't stop what's coming from coming and you can't prevent what's going from going. What's coming will come, what's going will go. erm.. I hope that makes sense to you. It sounds kind of funny because it's a literal translation from another language. Basically, do not worry about things you do not have control. When there is nothing you can do about it, the best thing is to accept it with optimism. Make the best of everyday.
We do not know what the future holds for us. The only thing to do to find out is to live each day as it comes.
Death is always lurking around every corner. Where there is life, there is death. Everything dies in the end. Nothing is permanent in this world.
I hope you recover from whatever is ailing you. I wish you good health and happiness.
