I ask myself that now and then and sometimes I'm satisfied and sometimes I'm not. Depends on your mood I guess. I think we have to keep reminding ourselves how much God has blessed us compared to the people of the world on the whole. Then my life doesn't look too bad at all and I give thanks and ask forgiveness. Good stuff here. God Bless, JB

You're a better woman than I (am a man), Judy. Hard to ask this question; I keep waiting until, you know, I've actually accomplished something worthwhile. lol. Kudos, Gershon

I'm still waiting for the moment I ask myself that question. Sometimes I think we judge ourselves more harshly than others judge us. But only one "Judge" truly counts. Quite profound! Hugs, Carolyn

Actually, and look closely at the wording of the relevant passages, we are the ones who give an accounting of our lives to the Ultimate Judge --- before He steps in and 'Katy bar the door!' lol. Thanks, Carolyn

Doesn't matter as whomever writes your obituary will compose a completely different version! Aloha! Rico

Hi Gershon, I can relate to this write very much. In the past, I was the Queen of procrastination. These days I try to better but to be honest, I fall short. Thanks for sharing such a write. Have a wonderful day, my friend;-) Alexis

Hey, Alexis. You are commicating with the Former King of Procrastination -- i.e., Gershon Wolf. I actually am much, much better now, I'd say about 90%. My wife has trained me well. She, of course, is 99% (Nobody's perfect. lol). At any rate, I really appreciate all of your comments, and hope you and I can continue to support each other in our poetic efforts. Happiness Always, Gershon
