Thinking.........just thinking

I am a planner.  My Seaside Friend will attest to that.  Yep I plan in advance, yet I can be impulsive.
As I age I am continuously reminded that I am doing just that - aging.  As many of you  know, we have had our share of funerals in the last number of years.   I have already made note of  a few things that I would prefer not to have done during and for my memorial service. You are thinking rather morbid,  right?  Well, the way I look at it is that this way my family doesn't have as much to worry about.  The way I figure it, the more I have written down, the less they have to try to 'get in my head'.  Land help them.  There are days when even I don't want in my head!!
I have also chosen my casket and some songs that I like. Included is a note of where I would like them placed in the service.  Oh and speaking of service, I don't want a sermon.  Try to say some nice things about me for heavens sake, but please no sermon.
Thinking............just thinking.

Holy Cow Girl... do you Sleep?

I'm older than you and this is one ceremony I have not ever thought about, let alone planned... but I am not a ceremony type person.. mostly going with the flow.. hope we all keep flowing for a long time to come.. long enough for you to have to change everything in you funeral plans to keep it current.. ok...
