You know when your are snacking on a bag Skittles or maybe a box of Milk Duds, you put the wrapper down thinking its empty. A few minutes go by, candy forgotten, then remembered. You are sure there isn’t any skittles left but you check any way and be hold…one or two last pieces of candy are clinging to the inside of the packaging. Your wrestle the last few pieces into your mouth and for some reason they are the best tasting pieces in the whole bag, in fact probably some of the best tasting piece of candy you have ever eaten
I hope that is how my life ends, with the same kind of feeling. Maybe laying on my death bed thinking of the ups and down, the successes and failures and like that bag of candy, you are feeling pretty good about the whole endeavor. Then maybe a few moments before the wrapper is discarded, a few last jewels are discovered. You had been perfectly content with what you have been given- but look hear…one or two delicious morsels you never expected, never even asked for, are there for you to enjoy before it all goes away, and those will be the best tasting morsels of life you have ever had. That would be pretty cool.
