I keep needing to add them to my list. Funny about this one is that it well fills the need I've been pondering on.<br /><br />When I turned 70 last spring, I decided that from here on out every day is a gift. Yeah, I know longevity tables give me more time, but although I am healthy now, I was a smoker for many years not to mention that luck (good and bad) plays a large role in the date of our demise.<br /><br />So I've been thinking that I need to decide how I want to live - ethically, morally, personally - for whatever time I have left - or at least give it more thought than I have in recent years.<br /><br />Me being me, that means I need to do some research to find some useful texts to inform my thinking. Whether I live another day or 20 years, I suppose this will be an ongoing, ever shifting project, but I hadn't found a starting place. Now you've given that beginning.<br /><br />With Bell, I think this means there are three books from you on my list just in the past couple of weeks. Could you hold off for awhile...Ronni Bennetthttp://www.timegoesby.netnoreply@blogger.com
