But lately as each day passes, I realize that this wonderful dream of life will come to an end. No matter how healthy I eat and no matter how many marathons I still participate in order to maintain a healthy life style in order to maximize my life expectancy, my life will come to an end. Obviously as each day passes, we all become one day older and one day closer to death.

Does anyone think about their inevitable demise and how do you deal with the uncertainty of death? Thanks and be safe.
Yes, I do. Thinking about dying actually helps us to have a healthier perspective of life. Priorities can change. Much of what were major issues are now considered to be the “small stuff”. It’s much easier to see the good in people and less time is spent complaining. Life is more joyful. Anyone who is a Christian and doesn’t have at least a tiny part of them looking forward to dying might think about re-examining their relationship with God. “Heaven” by Randy Alcorn is a good book for reference.
