Thanks for posting, the past few days I have been thinking about my Grandparents (pretty heavily) and what their top 5 regrets would be and if they could tell me what they were. I'm sure I likely could say 2-3 off the top of my head. I think if both of them often and know they still speak to me. They both had the most influence in shaping my life. I welcome the challenge within the post and your post is always on time...

It is not a downer to prepare for dying since it will happen! When you get used to it, you make better decisions and live with more clarity and even joy.

When I left my last position, one of the things I wrote to staff is to not look back in regret on some of the small things they are spending too much time on. This needs to be posted on the mirror for daily viewing. We get so caught up and before you know, poof, it's over. Which is another reason I'm still wanting to get that coffee!

When I spoke at my grandmother’s memorial last month, I focused on gratefulness rather than regret. I realized that I can’t have regret related to my life either.
