47. Interesting question that was posed to you.

I think I'd probably have picked "curious", too.

There's a well known story about Betty White's mother telling her when someone had died that "now they know the secret", and I've always kind of felt like that. Now, as for myself, I'm not hoping to know that secret for a while!!! LOL I just retired a few months back, and I hope I get to enjoy some time after working my whole life.

But I understand, I think, what you're saying. My dad lived to be 95, and he had outlived all of his contemporaries, etc. He was the last surviving member of his siblings, and even though he had remarried after my mother's death when I was quite young, I think he longed to be reunited with his first love. So, I don't think it's unusual for people to be "ready" in a sense or to look forward to what that transition might hold.

In the meantime, however, I hope you can still find wonder and splendor in this realm. I have a feeling that you're the kind of person who "gets it".

Sending hugs!
