Every year people make resolutions then break them within a few days. I could go with the same old litany….lose weight, get fit, read more widely, write more….. For 2006 I should like to think less of self-improvement and more about entering into each moment of life in an authentic way. In part this was brought about by discovering the death clock. It is salutory to watch each second of one’s life expectancy tick away. Presumptious too, as well as a bit sad.

Responding to today’s entry! Did you know that this is national Personal Trainer Day? Obviously more people look to their appearance than their views on life.
hmm. I worry about the death clock. It tells me that as a pessimist I am going to die in 2014, but that if I’m an optimist, in 2047.
Yes Andrew, but which did you key in first? That tells you more about yourself. Presumably we can change our levels of optimism by being more positive about life.
