Thinking
by GinafishIf you knew that you only had one year to live what would you do?
Think about it. Let’s suppose you aren’t ill. You aren’t dying of anything, but somehow, you know you will die exactly one year from today. I’m not saying the world will cease being. (That’s in 2012).
In this icky thought process, the only thing you are sure of is that you will not be alive in one year.
Would you live your life any differently?
I’d travel. Go up in a hot air balloon. But not bungee jump. I’d spend time with as much of my family and friends as I could to make good memories. I’d volunteer more at the food bank or start volunteering with children. I’d go to church and sing as loud as I could every week. I’d sit outside more even if my sinuses were killing me after half an hour. I’d play in the rain as long as it wasn’t lightening. I’d clean out my closets and give away 3/4ths of my clothes and only have two pairs of shoes. I’d write letters to all my family and friends telling them what I love about them. I’d continue to watch American Idol and Dancing with the Stars because I’m not perfect. I’d bake cookies for my neighbors and make my kids deliver them. I’d shave my head. And not ever shave my legs again. I’d quit carrying a purse and wearing lipstick. I’d hug people when I meet the first time. Maybe even kiss them on the check like the French do.
What would you do?
How would you live?
