I Am Not Dead Yet

My Living Celebration of Life

 

My writing assignment in my 500 words today is to write my own eulogy.  This seemed like an easy task  until I started writing.

What will I say about me?  I don’t especially want to share the orphan spirit I received as an abandoned baby.  Oh, and definitely not the “failed” marriages. I haven’t read epitaph saying the person was  insecure, afraid, a failure or something negative. I shall write all good things about me.

I struggle to write my eulogy in present time. If this eulogy becomes real today, remember I have experienced a wonderful life.  Most of my dreams have come true. It’s difficult to write it as though I am not living and say what I wish you would say about me.

I was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, grew up in Kentucky.  Apparently, I have some gypsy DNA because I love road trips, long and short.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of growing up and becoming a Mom.  Now, three sons later, 2 daughter in-laws, and 3 grandchildren those  dreams are true.  Most of my relatives owned their own business: I wanted one. I enjoyed over 20 years as a Real Estate Broker, selling homes in  5 states, owning 3 agencies and training more than 40 agents.

I played music…music in church, at parties and more in church. I wrote  a course for others to learn to play the piano by ear.  Music was more than a hobby, it was my gift of  joy and peace.

Until now, I am blessed with the results of  many mistakes, a lot of things done right, many were wrong.. I have the wisdom to know the difference.  This assignment is challenging.  I would like my eulogy to be more stellar, say something definite about my contributions. It’s time for me to Go Forth and do more giving and more living to document an acceptable eulogy.

How about you?  I challenge you to write your eulogy now and have read the way you want it too!

For now,  From the album Gods Problem Child Willie Nelson sings

 

During my years of real life, I have learned much about downsizing, removing clutter from my mind and surroundings. I try to surround myself with people smarter than me.

There you go.  I have lived long enough to be dead.  God has a reason for me to be here.  I believe I know my purpose and will go forth and do my best intentionally to fulfill it.  Join me, write your eulogy, share it and then  let’s

Go Forth and Prosper,
