All Things End: What Have I Learned?

 At some point, in some way, all living things eventually meet death and our one chance to live this unique gift of life will come to an end.  We each have many choices as we live and our personal choices have consequences throughout our life path.     One personal guideline that can be helpful in pondering positive and healthy choices for our latter days is:  I cannot go back and change the beginning.  I can start where I am and change the ending.  Except in our memories, yesterday is gone.     Like doing an eulogy, it is difficult for most of us to summarize both positively and negatively what we have and have not learned on our individual life path.  Each of us will basically answer the questions:   Who Am I?  What have I learned to maximize my remaining days of life to be positive and healthy?
