BTW, I was never assigned to write my own obit in high school, but my daughter was. This freaked me out! In her version (which got an A), she died young from an incurable disease, but after being diagnosed, she did all the things on her Bucket List (much like the Queen Latifah character in a recent movie) and was remembered with love by all her many friends. Heart-warming, but I didn't like it. If I had a choice, I would prefer to be cut out of her life than to survive her death. And that's what happened - she sent me to hell in summer 2010, but I know she's alive at 34, & that comforts me. (If she lives to about 112, she can travel the world & go skydiving later.)Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-34986532500089306272012-01-07T14:58:59.995-05:002012-01-07T14:58:59.995-05:00Thank you, all.

Trying to accomplish that goal would be a journey in itself. And so much of it depends on stability. So I guess I wish for you this year a stable and steady life. Let us know how those goals turn out.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-12477061885622843842012-01-06T20:47:16.756-05:002012-01-06T20:47:16.756-05:00Lovely post, Kris!

Reading that made me wonder what I wanted/how I felt/where I was a year ago. I don't remember exactly, though I could probably recall some of it if I contemplated it. But how interesting it would be if I'd written it down then and could just read it now! Thanks for the idea, which I may just do this year. (As an aside, there would be some degree of irony in that since I have sent out winter holiday cards exactly once, a number of years ago.)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. :)Emeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00819037087504004841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-58977070417850135692012-01-06T09:25:20.986-05:002012-01-06T09:25:20.986-05:00Planning for happiness is the best prediction I...Planning for happiness is the best prediction I've ever heard.Kathleen Bradeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347913255760493335noreply@blogger.com
