Thanks for this David. I am training for palliative care/grief coaching and have been asking myself those questions as I prepare to facilitate others’ answering them – if I knew I had only one year left, what difference would it make to my life? I’m with you, I think I would continue to strive to live fully, here and now.

I read the blogs and excellent comments and ideas from the Tao.

I have front row seat on this.

My Mom was the “strong one” in our family unit, my Dad was considered the “weak” one.

My mom passed away when she was in early 70′s with lung cancer from smoking.

My dad lived on till he was in mid 80′s – quite a few years after my mom passed away.

My mom was considered the solid oak while my Dad was the flexible willow bending back and forth in the winds.

Thank you for the excellent thoughtfull comments as well as those from the Tao.

I can understand why no bucket list – As one’s life draws to end of road, I sympathize with the thought of enjoying those things that have brought happiness and light. It does not seem time for new adventures/exploration nor remissing over what might have been.

I loved reading this, David. I often ask myself to contemplate the “perfect” day in my mind’s eye – and it usually comprises some fairly simple things: having gotten a good night’s rest the night before, moving my body joyfully, eating satisfyingly good food, accomplishing whatever tasks might be on my agenda for the day, and spending time in good company – which could be family, friends or by myself with a good book. I love reading about what brings joy to others – it’s often so simple, which makes the concept so wonderful because it’s so easily doable for most people.

That is one of my favorite chapters of Tao Te Ching. I’ve certainly seen some pretty lively soft-bodied people and some pretty lifeless hard-bodied people in my life.
