What Are You Going to Do Today?

8 Comments/ 78/ 1

I was looking at past posts and found one that I had shared in 2013 that featured this video. I had forgotten all about it.

It is thought provoking for me to watch this video. It makes me really think about my life and what I have done and what I have left to do.

I think as we age we realize our mortality and how much of our lives are in the rear view mirror. I truly have very few regrets in my life but watching this video makes me realize that I need to make each day count just a little bit more. What about you?

    Whoa! Really cool and creative! Many of the activities, though, can be happy, meaningful ones- caring for family, working, helping the community…so I’d say I’m doing all right with my jelly beans.

    I think once we have lost our parents and we are now the older generation, we do tend to think about this more. Making every day count is important. A great video.

    Very cool graphic representation of life. I’m afraid my tv beans would be huge and my house cleaning beans minuscule!!! I’m definitely thinking about the remaining ones today!

    I watched a special on PBS last evening about aging, which got my thought wheels turning. Time passes so quickly…

    Wow. That was thought provoking. The older we get the more we reflect.
