What's in your dash?

They say the real meaning of life is found in the dash between the date you were born and the date you died...such as January 1, 1960-January 1, 2007....that little dash in between those numbers represents everything that happened to a person during their lives...if we were to be able to have the perfect dash..what would it be? Would you have it be filled with love and laughter? Would you need to have a certain accomplishment achieved to have a successful dash? What would make your dash a fulfilling and happy one? I think mine would be best described as a time filled with family and friends and hopefully many moments that I reached out and helped others in their time of need...being remembered as someone that tried to make a difference would very satisfying...but the highest accomplishment and compliment would be to have been the best mother and wife and grandmother my family could ever have wanted...What's in your dash? If you look at your birthdate as the beginning and the pending date of your death as the end of life on this earth..then the dash is the entire time in between....has it been a good dash? Can it be better? Do you have a vision of what needs to be done to make it complete?

Oh yes there is nothing better than a love and laughter in my life it brightens my days when I am feeling low. Well yes I think that I would need to accomplish a career, as for me I have had all my children 5 of them are alive and well, and some lovely friends and we are there for each other. My life could of been better but I do try to improve it every day. Yes I do have a vision and I believe that in the last couple fo years I am making headway with my life.
