I’m going to be a doctor specializing in geriatrics, adolescent medicine, and psychiatrist, and a social worker, and a zoologist, and a nobel prize winner for one of several books I’ve written. I’m also going to have a zoo and re-write the DSM and reinvent Western mental health.

Yes, this seems to be the only way to stay sane. I think everyone does this to some degree. Time itself is measured, so when someone is thinking of “doing” something, they are really setting a time block to get it done. Anyhoo, just a thought. “do ya smoke?>

My grandmother planned on living to age 94. Three of her relatives “keeled over” at the age of 94 and she was sure she was going to walk in their footsteps (or would that be “drop” in their footsteps) and follow in a tradition (so to speak).

She missed it by five years. [R.I.P]

Wouldn’t it be better to live each day like it was your last?
If you give yourself a 5 year window you risk the potential of never having said sorry, taking things/people for granted, delaying changes, etc.

Janet: Unrelated but interesting, I spent my early years in Centreville, just down the pike from Kent Island.

I spent the second half of my childhood growing up on Kent Island in Maryland. There are quite a few crazy families on the island. My boyfriends grandfather was telling me there is a guy there who bought his grave stone with the death date engraved. He is certain that is the day he is going to die.
Haha – He’ll probably show us all by actually dying on that day.
