Death
The sudden passing this morning of Marisa's uncle, Dave, combined with the earlier death this year of Mike Read, not to mention my mom, Marvin and Betty, makes me very concerned with doing what I can to be prepared for my own demise.
It can happen any time for someone my age or older.
Certainly I feel the age: all sorts of joint pains, especially my knees; fungus issues, loss of hair color.
I generally wish to be free and clear to enjoy life to its fullest every day until that day...and that means maintaining a well-ordered set of belongings that I find useful.
When I don't find them useful, I should not keep them.
That is a difficult process, but I am more and more willing to do it...just need the time!
Besides that, I wish to pass on my creative works to people who find them useful after I am gone. It is the only legacy I can leave: and I wish my life to mean something for the future.
Also, I want to die knowing I have friends and family...whether it be newly cultivated friends or recently acquired family.
Certainly, with my death, I do not wish to be a burden for anyone, so want to have everything prepared.
I hope I have as much of a life waiting for me in the future as I have behind me, but it is just a hope.
