Conscious Aging

By Nancy Hemesath

I have heard many sermons and talks meant to inspire me, some I may even have followed.

However, when all is said and done, there is nothing more inspirational than a life well lived. Ann would not have held herself up as a role model.

She simply lived her life the best she could and that was enough.

Frequently funerals are times to celebrate the good qualities displayed by our loved ones. People do not have to be perfect in order to inspire us. Maybe it is time we look around to see qualities we want to imitate, even before death. Opening our eyes to the goodness of others may be our most compelling inspiration.
