NOT JUST YET, THANK YOU

You're going along through life minding your own business. Nothing happens for a while and then, something happens. You get a piece of good news or you hit a patch of good luck. Things are looking up and before you know it, you start to feel pretty good about things. You feel like everything's going to be OK, you'll be alright in the end. You start to walk a little lighter. Pretty soon you feel real good. Your head's in the clouds and nothing's going that ain't going good.

Then out of no where something else happens that knocks you right back down to earth. It's the great equalizer. It balances everything out. It's a reset button.

The good folks at Forest Lawn Memorial-Parks & Mortuaries sent me this letter the other day.

I think planning at your age would be morbid.

(I have the hardest time with those word verification things)

Yeah, it kinda bugged me the way it bugged me when I got my first Social Security Year-End statement.

Sorry 'bout the word verification but it keeps spammers at bay.
