I am no saint, but I have some useful things I'd like to pursue with extra energy and time.
> "ROCKFORD, IL—Retired post office branch manager Nancy Hollander, 97, died at her home of natural causes Tuesday, after spending her life completely unaware that she was one of the most talented musicians of the past century and possessed the untapped ability to become a world-class violin virtuoso."
> ""Nancy was the most gracious person I ever met," said retired coworker Geraldine Hunter, 82, echoing nearly verbatim what Pope John Paul II would have said after inviting Hollander to play at the Vatican in 1989. "She really lived every day to its fullest, and I don't think she could have been blessed with a better life.""
etc. etc.
It's funny that most of my peers don't even think about that, or even a life with less work.
I'm a bit obsessive and easily distracted, so perhaps I'm way outside the norm.
