After all, without the lows you cannot truly appreciate the highs.I'd be gutted,though, because I'm having a blast right now

Yep
I love life, I love the way it changes, the twists and turns, the ups and downs, never knowing what's around the corner, new people to meet, new places to go, new experiences to have...
I suppose the thing I get the most satisfaction from is getting through the hard times and learning life's lessons from those hard times and, as a result growing older and wiser. So in that respect I could say yes, I've had a good and enriched life so far

As soon as I work out a way to transfer my consciousness to genetic clones (that some say I already have 
) then death will be nothing more than a biological inconvenience.... a 'body sloughing' if you will!

Yes and No for me too, been ill too much for my liken, meningitis, epilepsy, brain tumour, and to top it all a really bad road smash caused by a drunk driver which the Police said I should have died in, But then what the hell, I'm still alive and kicking, I have a wonderful wife and 2 great big ugly sons, And finally am getting somewhere with my life, not been a ball, but if I died tomorrow I would have some beautiful memories to take with me

To answer the original question,no.
I would say my life is like building a house and the foundations are taking for ever.But 'ive never lost the dream that i'll end up with a mansion.

Good question! My Dad died when I was 18 and it gave me a helluva lot of perspective on life!! Have always tried to life my life on the philosphy "If I died tomorrow then I'd die happy" (Which is quite different to saying "I'd be happy to die!")
I've had some really sh1tty times in my life but have always tried to keep in in perspective - I've had a lot of fun and I always try to have fun every single day. Someone once said "It's not the things you do in life that you regret, it's the things you don't do" - so I try everything I get the chance to!
I don't have great wealth but I do have a husband I love more than anything I could have ever imagined. I have a job I really enjoy, a fab family and a small number of friends (real, true friends).
Don't to look at the big things to measure your life on - just the small things - and they're the things that don't cost a bean!
So yes - I could say I've had a good life - but I would not "go gently into the night!" Hell NO - I've lots more fun to have yet!!

SS - after my news today, this is a very hard question to answer, I have done alot of things and the good ones far out weigh the bad ones....
but if I died tomorrow I would have missed out on so much, so hopefully it won't happen.
Everything in "my" life is cool at the mo (present news excepted) and I hope that I get to enjoy many more years of it.
