An excerpt from Tuesday's with Morrie, an excellent review of life, living and dying.

‘It's very simple. As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's also the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it"

Think a little about what changes you might make if you knew the end of your days was near. Would you spend more time with your family, are there things you still want to do, is there someone you would like to talk to, to apologize to, to forgive? Morrie's approach was simple, if you know you are going to die, and begin to prepare for it, you become more involved in life while you are living it.

So, try this - each day, as you awake, pretend there is a little bird sitting on your shoulder - turn and ask - "Is today the day I die little bird?" Then live your life today as if it was. So - is today the day? What can you do to live your life a little better today? Perhaps you would like to share your thoughts on death and dying and living with the class.
