8. But it's not only bad/good
I mean in general that you ARE going to end up somewhere.

12. I really only do feel excitement

about my future and what it will bring.

I guess the idea of an ending always brings on some anxiety, because right now we're in the beginning of our lives, and we want them to last forever.

But I think, when I finally end up somewhere, that it will be a place I will want to be, and I'll be living the last part of a great life, one where I've done everything I want to do. And at that time, wherever I end up will be a peaceful and good place.

In the meantime, I try to live for right now and dream positive dreams for tomorrow. Worrying is one thing I wouldn't mind discarding altogether! :-)

4. No I get excited!
I am going to be cremated and a big bowl of my ashes will be at my service, with tiny zip lock baggies and little spoons and a sign reading: "Take a bit of Moonbeam with you and sprinkle her around when you go on your next great vacation! She would especially love to travel internationally!"

THAT'S gonna be GREAT!

9. You mean like Texas?
The beauty about this place is that if I ever decide to live among more enlightened, compassionate people, I have plenty of choices.

10. Quote from this morning
On Weekend Edition ... from Jane Olivor: "When you're on your journey, you don't see the end of it and its pretty scary, but you take your fear with you and you keep going because the fear will turn into joy." http://www.npr.org/rundowns/rundown.php?prgDate=27-Jun-2004&prgId=10

13. no...I gave up thinking about it...
..seriously. Didn't someone on here say "life is what happens while you're waiting for something to happen"?

If you told me that next week I'd begin teaching Emperor penguins how to box in Uzbekistan, I'd have no reason to doubt you.

Life is a meteor, hurtling uncontrolled though space.

14. I just try not to think about it.
I just put my faith in Allah. It makes me feel a lot better.

15. Uh, yeah, about every minute of every day
I have no idea what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I have an ideal - what I really, really want - but I don't know how to make it all happen.

18. Yep...exciting, exhilarating, scary, and sometimes a bit
too much stress (usually when money runs out).
