Hi all, I thought you might appreciate this interesting project that my friend, Kathy Kastner, does. She takes minature white boards to conferences and patient gatherings with a simple fill in the blank question:

I want to __________________ until I die.

It is so thought provoking and really makes people ponder what is important to them. And the end result when they land on their choice is a smile and bright eyes. Check out the article and the smiles:

- ‘I want to pat dogs until I die’: End-of-life planning should be more than just Living Wills https://healthydebate.ca/2025/05/topic/end-of-life-planning-more-than-wills/

What would you write in the blank spot?

Thank you, Colleen. I had no idea when I first posted, what the response would be. I'm overwhelmed. Obviously this a concern we elders all share, and I much appreciate being able to reach out to so many folks through your wonderful platform. Thank you for the link, and I love what your friend does with the whiteboard, what an excellent idea breaker! It's going into my tool kit. What would I write? I want to live in grace, gratitude and joy until I die. So far, great!
Peace and Every Good!

Spend as much time as possible with my dear grandchildren.
