I wondered: “Is she not thinking straight?”_____87_____I worried about her, Mum was thinking straighter than most of us.
Her_____88_____seemed to be based on a realization that life needs to be lived, when there’s relatively little of it left. It_____89_____me of the line “Get busy living or get busy dying.”
I don’t think Mum knows what her next big “thing” is going to be. But I am sure, she is open to any_____90_____, which is something we all probably need right now. Live life to the fullest.
