Sunset of life

The End

  • As you finish another trip around the earth and mark another birthday, it dawns on you that you are in the sunset of your life.
  • And it dawns on you that your life is fast approaching the average life expectancy for your birth year.
  • Shocking...

A beginning

  • Yes for as sure as your life had a beginning, it will have an end.

  • Yes even you were once a brand new baby...with their whole life ahead of them.

  • Biut now, as you pass into the future you realize that you will die...

  • And it will occur sooner then you think...
  • We all think of death, as something which happens to the other guy...
  • Ha! such a delusion and such a shared one too...

  • Death will come for all of us, and sooner then most of us think...
  • But such is our shared delusion, that death only happens to the other guy.
  • And despite the march of time... we refuse to face facts..

  • And that means your not just gonna die...your gonna die soon...

  • So as you watch the sunset tonight or tomorrow, remember that you are literally in the sunset of your life... and ask your self...if I die tomorrow...will I be happy with the way I spent my last day?

  • Or will I have regrets for things I didn't do, things I didn't say, places I didn't go, and stuff I did eat??
  • I don't know...so far I have led a full life, but sometimes you have to ask yourself...is this it?
  • Is this all I have to look fore=ward to for the rest of my life?
  • Is this how I want to go out?

  • As my wife once said, she woke up one day and said it this all I have to look forward to?
  • And when someone said yes, she left the country and moved to a whole new exciting life... because you only get one life...
  • What will you do with yours? And will you have any regrets?
