Deep Thoughts…
Here some things to think about:
Think about how your day started today. You got up, maybe you showered. Regardless, you prepared for the day. Maybe it started out as a good day or maybe it was rough right from the beginning. But it was your day. Now consider that your last day alive will also start just like any other day. You’ll just die sometime during it.
Here’s another one:
Next time you’re at the hospital, specifically the emergency room, take a look at the ceiling. Look up at it. For a great many people, that is the last thing they saw before they died. Perhaps the hospital should at least paint it a calming color.
On the other hand, over the counter appetite suppressants are available everywhere. I know, totally weird tangent, right?

ok, consider this. Without the marvels of modern medicine in that ER, many of us would have died a long time ago – I would be dead a dozen times over. So that every sunrise and sunset is a gift of an unnaturally extended life – the idea that one of those sunrises will someday be my last doesn’t bother me much when I know I should have died in childhood.

Well, it can’t be all puppies and rainbows, you know?

I prefer kittens and rainbows. Or baby pandas. Oh so cute.
What you said was dead (pun intended) on and well said, mind you, but now I need to retreat to my happy place to recover.

At my chiropractor’s office, he has blue sky with clouds on the ceiling tiles covering the lights so that it looks like you are seeing through the roof on a nice sunny day…and then he CRACKS ya LOL
