I don't think a lot about death, but I know it's waiting for me.
Today I read an essay about dying in The New York Times, and this particular sentence caught my eye:
"I am going to be in pain and die soon no matter how I behave, so I might as well be cheerful."
You can read the rest @

I'm about the same age as the author of the essay, and her observations strike a chord with me. I'll go when it's my time and there's little I can do about it, so I might as well be cheerful.
And if you want to laugh at my funeral, please go ahead. If I were still alive to see it I'd probably do the same.
