(80,522 posts)Husband and I are both enough to be in the at-risk group. Ive had a great life. Lived long enough to use whatever gifts I may have been given for the greater good and to score some satisfying accomplishments. Long enough to see my kids get their own start in life as successful adults. One of ems even procreated. My garden is paying dividends from plantings I put in last year and the year before and all that stuff that was meant to survive the winter did so. It will keep contributing beauty to the neighborhood in the years ahead.
If it all ended today, Id go with gratitude for all that. And knowing that the polar bears and other species that our recklessness and greed and short-sightedness have endangered, still managed to survive - at least beyond me.
