“Death…not really a goal.” We want to live as long as possible because we love our lives. But death comes to us all. If you want to read a brief biography of a regular non-celebrated person, check out the obituaries on your town’s website or in the newspaper. This is a recollection, written by a friend or family member, often with input from others, of the person’s family, work, and community life. Now is the time to write our own obituaries. Not because we expect to die soon, but because we want to have a full life. What would you like to be in your obituary? A big family? Lots of friends? A long list of places you visited? A charity you founded? Whatever you want people to read about you after you’re gone, now is the time to make it happen. I make progress today as I reach a maintenance caloric intake of about 1500 per day, and I’m getting used to the 3-mile workout. So go write your obituary, and here’s a link to the video version of the episode:
