Lord, what if i miss you? what if i miss you? what if i miss you? oh, i'm so scared! god, what if i miss you? he answered simply, "joyce, don't worry; if you miss me, i will find you.
Worry Missing What If
I won't miss having to stand for two hours at 4:30 a.m. and have freezing cold glue applied to my feet. i won't miss two-hour drives to work or long, long, long days sitting in my trailer waiting...waiting...waiting. i won't miss one day off a week. i won't miss glue in my ears. but i would do it all again tomorrow.

Try it, folks, try it. try it for a week without watching cable news. now, if you're a news consumer and if you are quasi-addicted, then you're gonna have to find other ways of informing yourself, and you can do that. you can inform yourself of the same things you'll see on cable tv. what you will miss is all the incendiary opining on both sides. you'll miss the anger. you'll miss the constant lack of resolution to anything. and most of all you'll miss the frustration.

Art Drama Mean
We gather the things we learned, and they don't nearly add up to fill the space of a life. you will miss the taste of froot loops. you will miss the sound of traffic. you will miss your back against his. you will miss him stealing the sheets. do not ignore these things.
