Frasier is an teleseries which I love watching, especially when I'm down and out and need to give my mind a gentle nudge or two to start working again. The humor in it is very carefully crafted, and the quips and retorts along with their 'message' to tell, set the show to something which gives me lots to think of.
In one of the later seasons Frasier is accidentally thought of to be dead in an identity mix up, and goes through the ordeal of going through his own obituary in the papers the next day. Of course it gets him to do crazy stuff, 'live' his life, blah blah,.... but the real deal was with when his Dad gives a slap to his new overzealous enthusiasm by asking him that with this quest for filling up the pages on how you want others to think about you, are you really living your life? Gotta admit, it's a slam dunk show, I'm sure it would have got many thinking about it... it sure got me.
Not really sure how my obituary is going to read, but something that I value is that there should be a handful of worth wile moments of my life that string together as memories for the ones I care. That is one side of the coin. The other side is how I 'live' my life. Its surprising how these two can be so interconnected, if you think about it.......
Think about it!
