Ironically, thinking of death helps you be more present. It makes you realize how precious each moment is. Be in the here now because this could be the last time you pick up your grandson or kiss your spouse on the cheek. Death is my advisor that helps me remember what's important, that one day I will die.

I agree Mary. It boils it all down doesn’t it? Thanks for reading!

I think my death every day. Not at all in a morbid way. Just as a reminder to make the most of life.

I agree Imola. That's exactly the spirit which I mean to convey! Thank you for reading.

Of course. Not to spook you again, but I wrote a poem about this while I was walking the streets of Rome. Will post it next Sunday if I’m brave enough :)
