Over the weekend,  my wife and I finally watched a film that was on our radar. The film was called “A Ghost Story “, and it was a very good, thought-provoking movie….for me at least. Basically, the plot is about a man who passes and comes back as a ghost….stuck in the last home he lived in observing life continue.

The film can be a little sad, but it makes you think. Life is too short, and it stops for no one. Also can’t take things for granted or live with regret. Can’t just be like a ghost,  letting life pass us by. Can’t live in fear or uncertainty. Life is for living.

I have a ton of regrets. Things that I have to live with. Alienating my family, Not being a good son… not being a good big brother…allowing the circumstances to take a toll on my physical and mental health? Do I blame the groomer and abuser, or can I cast some of the blame on the person I see in the mirror in the morning?

I get so angry at myself because I know what to do and how to do it for the most part, but I stand here, letting life pass me by. I ve taken the steps I need to. I’ve BEGUN the process… but why 2 steps forward,  3 steps back?  I know I’m not the only one, but we have to put the work in. Don’t let life slip you by. Live it.

So, check out “A Ghost Story ” currently streaming on Max, Hulu, and Prime. It’s worth a watch. And remember,  life’s short,  live it to the fullest. Do the best you can. Keyword DO . Don’t let life pass you by.
