Cowperson - is "How will I be remembered?" really that different of a question than " Dear Lord, help me to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am." ?
Don't they both provoke the same kind of introspection?
And I think Frank's question is a great one, but it really depends upon why you are asking it. If you are wondering it because you are worried about how other people will think of you then perhaps that is a bit misguided. It is you rlife, not theirs. If you are asking it because you are assessing your own life from a different perspective, then that is wonderful because it means you are willing to test yourself and measure youself.
Same question, different reasons for asking it.
