My mortality is certainly closer in my thoughts as I've gotten older. It helps me talk myself out of a lot of nonsense for sure. I think sometimes, what am I spending my little time concerned about THAT for ?! (whatever THAT is at the time)... and I try to get myself turned in a better direction.... for whatever little time I might have left. ha ha.... but not in a morbid way, in a fun way that lets me leave it behind.
