    We should always remind ourselves of this.

I was actually going to respond and say I try to do this constantly with every moment. I meditate and practice mindfulness, and this is kind of part of that whole Zen Buddhist thing. EVERY moment is the last time I'll experience that moment. They are all precious. Not only think of things you do as if you were doing it for the last time, but also try to just find the beauty in any situation, like it's the last time you're going to see anything. Sitting at a dirty bus stop in a bad part of town? There's still something you can appreciate that will make you smile if you're looking for it.
