Day to Day happenings in my life

Life? Good or bad.

What does “a good life” mean to you?

A good life, doesn’t have to mean one where you achieve financial successes, or one in which nothing terrible happened.
To me it means a life in which I brought joy or comfort to others I cared for.
It’s a deep question. People say at funerals “he had a good life.” What do they mean? They could say, “he had a hard life.” Maybe “he” was a farmer, he lost his crops or went through drought, floods, or financial hardship. Yet when he left this earth he left behind a family who thought of this man as someone who’d been there for them all their lives. Someone trustworthy, a person they could depend on. Yes, it was a hard life but it was a good life too.
That’s how I want to be remembered, as someone people could depend on. Then I will have had a good life.
