Self-Knowledge Question #22: The Pursuit of Happiness

Initial post on what I'm doing here.

22. When you have free time, what do you like to do for fun?

Read. Knit. Ride my bike. Go to a concert. Go to a museum. Go to a show. Attend a science fiction convention. Take a trip somewhere I haven't been. Share an activity with a close friend or two. Play a game with others. Write a filk song. Get a filk song performance-ready. Interact on DW. Find and watch a sports event of interest. Cook something new. Learn something new. Seek out a different perspective. Combine two or more of these. Did I mention my "things I enjoy doing" calendar was pretty full?

Self-Knowledge Question #23: And When I'm Dead, Dead, and Gone

Initial post on what I'm doing here.

23. What legacy do you hope to leave behind once your time on Earth is over?

The definition of "legacy" talks about money and property. The most important thing for me in this area is that if spouse is still alive, that there be enough of both for them for the rest of their existence. Aside from some family heirlooms I currently have, and wouldn't want to sell or abandon without seeing whether anyone else in the family wanted them, everything else is just Stuff to me. Our household custom is to try to find someone who will appreciate and use Stuff we no longer want to keep. I hope that a lot of the Stuff I still have when I die can find someone like that, and that they think of me fondly when they use it.

There are also things I have invested creative energy in. These include filk songs, knitting, and recipes. I likewise hope that these will find the people who appreciate them, use them or share them with others, and think of me fondly when they do.
