Here’s what I’ve learned by talking openly about death

life is not meant to be lived in a caged, trapped

Following is a bold thought. And perhaps, the best one on why death ought to occupy our conscious thoughts. A lot.

Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage, or my house when I propose to take a residence, so I shall choose my death when I am about to depart from life.  – Seneca

The coolest thing about throwing yourself out there?

happy faces
if it makes you happy, then why are you so sad. – sheryl crow

The coolest thing about yesterday’s post (not Lorie’s guest post, the other one) was how uncomfortable it was to write. Who can claim to literally be one of the best (in the world) at something and not sound boastful, arrogant, obnoxious, etc?

Makes me wonder what others claim, whom they claim it to (or for), and why do they claim it? And what if they didn’t?

PS. Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads and Grand Dads out there.

So what?

leaving a legacy
a sense of urgency…who’s he gonna talk to if something tragic happens to me?

Suppose someone’s a prolific blogger – writing thousands of blog posts. So what?

One could bet it keeps them sharp, razor sharp. And it probably keeps them balanced, as good as anyone in the world. It helps them to be clear, crystal clear, on what’s important in life. And most of all, it proves they have drive and determination (and most likely a servant’s heart).

PS. note to self… that was awkward, but kudos for doing it anyway.

Is it worth it?

prolific bloggers
museum exhibit…a note pad…really?

Had a mini-epiphany the other day on the phone, while sharing my story (which may be featured in a book on purposeful aging). The whole notion of being the Internet’s Only Five-A-Day Blogger. What is that exactly? Is it a good thing? What does it mean? How or why does it matter in a sea of bloggers? What if it doesn’t.

What advice would you offer on this, tested by your personal experience and not textbook theory?
