Do you fear or welcome your death?

Funny, when I was working and in my late 50's I was more accepting of death because I thought I'd accomplished and experienced pretty much everything I could in my life. Now that I'm my late 60's, retired and really enjoying life I would prefer to wait. ;)

the thing is every night all of us 'die' when we sleep... we know nothing of this world when we're asleep, we don't miss our family, our friends, our home , and that's how I feel death will be...

Problem is, I dream & dream every night of situations that come from my awake life. And it's a relief when I awaken to know that it was only a dream. But I do see dying as similar to falling asleep, dreamless and peacefully. All cares familywise, all in life no longer my responsibility.

Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)

Song by

Doris Day

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother
What will I be?
Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me

"Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be"

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart
What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows
Day after day?
Here's what my sweetheart said

"Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be"

Que sera, sera

Songwriters: Raymond B.

No bubble burst. That is, indeed, your truth. You have made it so, and it will be true for you. Bones in box/ashed in an urn. My truth, which will be true for me, is radically different. Amen.
 
I dont fear or welcome it. Im 75 so I do think about it on occasion but not constantly. Considering that Im probably closer now than I was last year. :D

One of my life philosophies has always been prepare for the worst but hope for the best. On that note Im ready.
All of my affairs are in order. I plan to just chill and wait.

Im in good health and fairly spry but if I was in poor health or in pain I would have to adjust my game plan. I dont know if I would help things along. Im not there yet. Depends on my quality of life. I have no reason to be here. So theres no reason to put up with a lot of malarky just to be here. :D

I can't go yet... I've had a horrible life, so I have to wait until some good stuff happens before I can even think about going...:D

Maybe you are like my Grandmother used to say, "I know I am going to Heaven because my Hell is here on earth."
The funny thing is we never knew why she felt that way. Her and my Grandfather didn't have any financial issues and I know he wasn't putting his hands on her because she was able to handle herself and she would have told my Dad and then it would have been his Hell on earth.

As for me, no use worrying about it. I have no control over it, so whatever will be will be as the record goes.
