Hi Gang!
Last week I had the opportunity to engage in a conversation about death. Contrary to what you might think, this conversation was neither gloomy nor threatening. In fact, through our exploration of the possibility of death, everyone in the conversation would agree that we were given a new zest for life!
My desire to look into the notion of dying was not self-generated. It was more, thrust upon me, by three distinct experiences surrounding death all of which showed up within a very brief period of time.
· The first was the death of a dear friend.
· The second came through a life transformed by the writing of their own eulogy.
· The third, was brought about by my husband’s visit to the doctor.
Read the whole article, do the homework and get a little more life in your life! Then come on back and share your thoughts. It’s sure to be some deep stuff
Enjoy!

I have been through this exercise a few times over the years…you don’t just do it once. But what I expect to hear, if I can hear the eulogies, is a collection of things that I was in the middle of doing and had planned to do next. The idea being that I would die an active person who was constantly reaching to do more.

Beautiful Dave! I fully anticipate this is exactly how it will unfold; dancing and singing all the way!
