Alive and well, and active! I love that she's still around. I like to sometimes take a moment and appreciate that we still have some old ones around. Sean Connery, Clint Eastwood, Angela Lansbury. Oftentimes, we don't think about them in this manner until the day they die. So I'm taking a moment to celebrate their lives!

shareWhat a great idea! I am going to take some time to do this also. Thx for sharing!
shareGlad someone see the value of it. To tell you the truth, this line of thinking has served me in the past. My father was 50 when I was born and he has consistently been the person I had the strongest love for in my life. I also worried throughout my life about his age, worrying that he was already quite old and how much of an impact it'd have if he died. So oftentimes for at least a good 7 years or so, from the time that he was 65, I consistently thought fond thoughts, thinking about how much I'd miss him once he's gone. So I tried to cherish regular everyday moments from time to time. We weren't doing anything in particular, but just being in his presence and taking a time to appreciate being able to do so, although it's hard to really get in the sort of mindset to do. At 70 years old he had a stroke, and although weakened, he could walk around just fine on his own but it did take a toll on his body. At 72 he passed away from more strokes. But those last couple of years, I did make sure to spend plenty of time with him, so I have very little in terms of regret, like I know a lot of people have, wishing they'd have made more of the time they had together with someone close to them.
shareThat is a well put, precious notion and way of thinking!
