Bod yn farwol

Bod yn farwol ~ Being mortal


“Since you are mortal, you need to cultivate / Two concepts: that tomorrow is the only day / You will see the light of the sun / yet also that you will live fifty more years with overwhelming riches.”
― Bacchylides

Rydw i newydd orffen darllen 'Being Mortal' gan Atul Gawande. Roeddwn i wedi bod yn meddwl byddai'n dda i ofal iechyd proffesiynol i'w darllen. Nawr rydw i'n meddwl dylai bawb ei darllen.

Mae'n bwysig meddwl am beth rydyn ni eisiau gwneud gyda'n bywydau, yn arbennig pan rydyn ni'n mynd yn hen. Mae'r llyfr hwn yn trafod y posibiliadau. Mae pethau yn newid ac efallai dydyn ni ddim eisiau dosau enfawr o ymbelydredd. Efallai rydyn ni eisiau byw ein diwrnodau olaf mewn heddwch. Wel, mae'n dda i feddwl am beth rydyn ni eisiau, beth bynnag.

Roeddwn i'n meddwl (I was thinking) daw'r dydd pan rydw i wedi postio fy Blip olaf. Rydw i'n gobeithio bydd amser hir eto, ond dych chi ddim erioed yn gwybod. Byddai'n dda cael cyfle i ddweud ffarwel wrth bawb ond mae'n bosibl bydda i'n jyst stopio.

Ar y ton hapus hynny, rhaid i mi dweud bydda i'n mynd i ffwrdd am wythnos yn Drala Jong i ddathlu Blwyddyn Newydd Tibet

Felly wela i ti mewn wythnos, gobeithio.

I've just finished reading 'Being Mortal' by Atul Gawande. I had been thinking it would be good for healthcare professionals to read. Now I think everyone should read it.

It's important to think about what we want to do with our lives, especially when we get old. This book discusses the possibilities. Things are changing and maybe we don't want huge doses of radiation. Maybe we want to live our last days in peace. Well, it's good to think about what we want, anyway.

I was thinking the day will come when I have posted my last Blip. I hope it will be a long time yet, but you never know. It would be good to have a chance to say goodbye to everyone but I may just stop.

On that happy note, I must say that I will be going away for a week in Drala Jong to celebrate Tibetan New Year.

So see you in a week, I hope.
