Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Lately, I've been thinking about funeral stories.

I don't know why.

Don't ask me why.

But in recent weeks, when I've seen kind actions take place or someone be extremely generous

in a way that is, I suppose, unexpected, I've been thinking about, you know, what is it

that we say at the end of someone's life? What is it that we reflect upon? You know, it's interesting. My husband,

who celebrated two years, alcohol free recently, is so, so into golf lately. He is a member of

this golf place. He's been playing whenever he can. He's going on a golf trip this weekend. And his dad is also a huge golfer.

And he wanted to surprise his dad and connect with him in California. Don't ask me the name of the

course. I know nothing about this sport whatsoever. And I was so encouraging of it. His dad lives

in Australia, kind of meeting in California is almost halfway.

And I said, yes, do it, book it. Like, have this experience with your dad. Because at the end of it all, which is coming for all of us, this will be something that you will always be proud of.

Right. This is, we speak a lot in self-coaching

society about regretproofing your life, how important that is. And then I was thinking about

funeral stories in general and stories that we hear. You know, it's really interesting. I find

that we discuss how life is shorter than we expect, right? You hear things like,

feels just like yesterday, you know, we were celebrating their wedding anniversary or celebrating

their birthday or celebrating XYZ together. Time disappears faster than we realize. and we always think, oh, there'll be another

year, there'll be another season, there'll be another summer. What can we seize now? Because I think

this fleeting passing of time is something that we all know, but we don't live that way. We don't

make conscious decisions based on our temporary time here on earth.
