Channeling Yoda are you, Variol?
As for an epitaph, I hadn't thought about it too much. I have come across four things I like to keep in mind:
First, your tombstone isn't about when you were born or when you died. It's about the dash in between those two dates... how you lived your dash.
Second, the idea behind life is not to conserve it carefully, but to slide into your casket at the last minute on a body that's worn out going "wow! What a rush!"
Third, when I was born, I cried while everyone else was smiling (or so I'm told). When I die, I'd like to be smiling while they're all crying.
And finally, in the casket I should be buried with a fork, because just like all those potluck dinners where you were told to keep your fork because something better - dessert - was coming, so it is with life. And I'm keeping my fork
I do have to confess that most of these have been lifted from other sources, such as Chicken Soup for the Soul. But I find them applicable just the same.
What about you?
