Recently we had visitors we only see several times a year. As we were sitting around remanising about the past one phrase kept coming up, "do you know who you sounded like right now?" Frequently, ok...mainly it was not in a complimentary fashion.
It got me thinking about what other will think of me when I am no longer here to explain myself or my actions. I pondered what actions, words or mannerisms will prompt such remarks on my behalf. I do hope they are kind enough to only remember a few of my flaws and laugh at only some of my idiosyncrasies.
What legacy of memories will you leave behind. How do you wish to be, "reminisced"? While it is wonderful to have thoughts of those you loved are they positive or negative ones? Are you leaving an imprint of love, compassion and light or those of a "negative Nelly".
Take time to think about yourself after you have left the body behind...how will those overhead conversation make you feel? If you don't like them....you still have time to make different memories. When they say, "you sound exactly like someone else," be sure it is a positive thought.
