Quotes to ponder:
"Remind yourself that when you die, your in-basket won’t be empty."
"Life doesn’t stop, until it does. Whatever has happened, if you are alive, you must go do the next thing."
"Now and then I can sit right in the middle of all of my uncertain and unfinished business and relax in the knowledge that everything really is in its right place."
