I've heard about this issue from people in their 70s and 80s recently, but I think, as we move from parenting to other possibilities, it is something we think about in our 50s as well. I love your metaphor of the daffodils as well--leaving a gift for others. I think it is the time of life, Marsha.

Must be that time of life we occupy. You voiced my own thoughts perfectly. I think living in a way we think will make a contribution is based on blind faith, like planting daffodil bulbs in our back yard just before we move away. We may never see them bloom, but we know they are there, planted deep with intention. It’s uncanny that you would post this now — I have been mulling this exact question recently.
