Title: Here's an interesting project
Post by Carl_D on Nov 22nd, 2003, 3:27am
Take a piece of paper. On the top of that piece of paper put, "If today were to be the last day of my life, what would I do?"

I only have 3 things on my list so far.

The reason I thought of this is because we waste so much time in our lives doing things that don't matter.
Once again I say, the meaning of life is simple: time is of the essence - don't waste it.

Overthunk,
Carl D

So absolutely true.

But now I'm curious what your 3 things are!

Okay...might sound corny, but here it is.

First, I would watch the sun come up. I am wierd I know, but I actually love the shapes the sky makes as the daylight moves in.

Second, I would give my niece and nephew a big ole bearhug and tell them how much I love them.

Third, I would have to spend a couple of hours with my best friend in the whole wide world, my Jackson Stealth guitar that is one of a kind!

The fourth is somewhere between having a barbeque with friends and relatives, or swiffing back a few ice cold shots of Jager...or who knows. It is a heavy thing to think of there not being a tomorrow, as we all pretty much rely on its presence.

Peace,
Carl D

Carl,

I've been think the same things every now and then.
But I have no idea what 3 things I would do...
But you're right, we waste so much time and energy by doing useless things and/or regretting things we didn't do.

Best wishes & PFdays,

1. put a minumum down payment on a new Corvette for my ex-mother in law.

2. Insure the Corvette to be paid off "just in case I die".

3. Drive the Corvette off a cliff.

4. But first, I'd kill my neighbor's yappin' damn poodle.

Have a nice day.....see ya the other side.  8)

Build underground bomb shelter

Buy up all the beer and cigs possible to stash in it

Stock pile meds and stash in it

Stash my favorite jeans, leather coat, few shirts and cats in bomb shelter....and dog or two

Go out and party with all my freinds and family and spend quailty time with them now that I know I have my stash safe and sound

Oh......I'd pay off all my bills, car and house inlcuded with a bad post dated check

[smiley=huh.gif]Why wait to do these things?

I never hang up the phone that I don't say, "Love ya" (one man called me back and "asked" me what I'd said - don't think he'd heard it in a LONG time.)

I never miss a chance to hug or get a hug. (Have this theory - It takes 4 hugs a day just to keep you from being weird - 8 hugs a day to maintain your status quo and 12 hugs a day to get ahead). I've been hugging instead of shaking hands for more years than I care to count. And the funny thing is - the more hugs you give out - the more you receive back.

I try to do something "new" each day. Sometimes it's just learning a new word (that I probably won't remember tomorrow) or trying out a new recipe (sometimes Bill wishes I hadn't), but I try to learn or do something I've never learned or done before. My daddy always said, "When you're green, you're growing - but when you get ripe, you start to rot!" I think I've still got a lot of things to learn and a lot of "new experiences" waiting. I just hate to "waste" days and opportunities.

Gosh, Carl, you've got me thunking too much and now I've started to phillosaphize (gee maybe tomorrow I'll learn how to "spell" that word :-/) Maybe I need to go pick up my Grandson's birthday gift now and let my head have a long rest. The toy department does it every time.

So, Carl, quit your thunking and go out and have a great day....... watch the sunrise in the morning and hug those neices and nephews.... Have some fun....

A BIG cyberhug to all of you....

BarbaraD, you have painted a picture of yourself for me.  Can't wait to meet you and get my hug!!!!!!!!

As for the whole thread, I like the post dated check idea!

I would spend the whole day playing with my kids,
then take a long bubble bath with them,
then snuggle up in bed with them in my arms, say a prayer and go to sleep.

Nice post..even gave a cynic pause...

I'd hug my dog and toss his toy.
Go for a long walk with him in the arboretum...his fav place
Curl up in my bed and go to sleep.

I'm with you Carl~~~ I would watch the sun come up too... just to be sure I didn't miss a minute of the day.
Have sex...

I would Max out all the credit cards stuff I get in the mail everyday for new credit and buy presents for everyone....
Have sex...

I would tell off the Principal and last year's teacher at my daughters school ...
Have sex...

I would moon a few soccer parents that don't let my daughter play with their precious children....
I would tell them their precious children aren't precious after all...
come home and have sex...

I would eat crab rangoons til  I bust...

I would go the beach, and get a tan... (cuz I cant sit in the sun anymore Melanoma problem)
I would walk around giving out money to see peoples faces.
Have sex again...

I would watch the sun go down and try not to fall asleep because this is my last day on earth...
so I would just have to have sex...

Babs, you get the prize!
That is exactly my point. Live everyday as if it may not become a tomorrow, for tomorrow never knows.

Peace,

Let somebody cut open my head and see what the hell is wrong with it - so maybe someone can benefit from it. Wishing pfdan to all.

I have to agree with Ree.

But probably at least once a week my husband and I will turn to each other and ask if we have any regrets.  If we do then we try and see how to make it happen so that we dont have them any more.  I refuse to live this life with "What If's".  If I allowed regrets to happen, then I would not have my son.  Doctors told me NOT to get pregnant because of health problems with me.  4 years after my daughter was born I ended up pregnant (while on the pill) I regreted for those 4 years that we never even tried to have another child because of the doctors advise. I figured if I lost the baby then it was not meant to be, but it killed me to not know. We were very blessed that all of the things that "might have happened"  did not and he ended up with a very healthy son and I am fine as well.  

This life is uncertain and you will not get any forwarning when today is your last day. So live life.  Every day that you wake up breathing is a gift, (even if a CH is part of it) be grateful that you have it.  

Tia
