[quote=Anonymous]Not to sound to philosophical, but... the question or worry is not, how much time or how little time is left. It's about how you've spent the time that you had. If I'm feeling down or bothered, I can usually calm my mind by appreciating that if I died in X amount of time, would I die happy? Most of the time the answer is yes. I have a husband I have adored for 20 years, three kids that I love dearly, even though teenagers are tough to parent. My parents are alive, I am in a good place with my siblings. If I cannot answer yes to dying happy, then there is something I need to take care of...soon. Sometimes that means resolving feeling with a person, changing jobs, for fulfilling some other task or discussion. Resolving the thing that I am avoiding. Life is too short for regrets, so I try hard to keep my mental and emotional health intact. [/quote]
