The Last Good Day

Please excuse my feeble attempt to wax philosophical here; it's just something I have to do.
The concept of 'The Last Good Day' has been explored by many and written about by a few and most famously was the main topic of a movie.

The Fault in Our Stars is a 2014 American romantic drama film directed by Josh Boone, based on thenovel of the same name by John Green. The film stars Shailene WoodleyAnsel Elgort, and Nat Wolff, with Laura DernSam Trammell, and Willem Dafoe playing supporting roles. Woodley plays Hazel Grace Lancaster, a sixteen-year-old cancer patient who is forced by her parents to attend a support group, where she meets and subsequently falls in love with Augustus Waters, another cancer patient, played by Elgort. Wikipedia
"There's no way of knowing that your last good day is Your Last Good Day. At the time, it is just another good day." 
Most people with chronic, life threatening, or terminal conditions understand this concept. Few young or healthy people do.
Everyone will have a last good day. Few will be able to recognize it as such until it's over. Many will never know. The fortunate ones will be able to live each day as if it is their last good day.
