If Today Was Your Last Day?
So I hope I put this in the right section, I didnt know if it belonged here or the red zone.
Anyhow I've been doing a lot of thinking lately,than I was listening to music and Nicklebacks "If Today Was Your Last Day" Started playing... Which leaves me to think If today was your last day What would you do? We all have some idea of what we would want our last day to entail. This is mainly just to get us to thinking, I think a lot of people(not just here) take life in general for granted. So here it goes You have 24 hours what would you do with it? |

Since the late 80s when I lost my first gf I have tried to make sure that those I love know it. I just hot out of the hospital a little over 2 weeks ago where I was extremely sick and from what I hear could have met my maker.
I want to spend every moment I can with the woman I love creating memories that she will cherish and know that no matter how difficult life is that I love her and will till the end of time not just my time. I would make sure that I eat anything and everything I haven't been able to enjoy the last cpl of yrs cuz of diabetes. I would love to just hold my baby girl and laugh and cry with her for she would make the last day the one heaven would have to measure up tooo . |

If this were my last day, I would sort of be relieved. I would just sit quietly and look out the window and think.

What an amazing spirit you are darlin. *And...I'm glad it is not your last day. If it were mine... I would do as many of my patients have done...be surrounded by family and friends that truly love me. Not the ones that pretend to. The ones that really, deeply do. That's how i want my ship to go out of sight from the shoreline on this side and to transition to the other side where others who love me will greet me on the other shoreline. I'm not scared at all. I believe, with all of my heart, there is a wonderful, amazing place to travel to, some day.

I would go for a long walk by myself. I'd think about all the people I love and who love me back and smile. I'd find a quiet place to sit, pull my scarf up around my ears and drink tea from a flask while soaking in the vibrant colours and autumn scents.
I would just be.

If today were my last day...
Hmmmm, maybe it's because I am so tired right now but I had a big ol' paragraph written out and began tearing up. Interestingly enough I don't have issue with death, never have, but right now the thought of leaving those I love dearly (especially my Spritz) just didn't set well for me. Maybe another time I'll play along but for now I'd like to think that we have today. And really, if every day was thought of as "the first day," then every day could be celebrated and appreciated as new beginnings instead of anticipating and worrying about the end... |

I wouldn't change a thing. I have been living day to day for what seems like a long time now that if it was my last day, I'd be ok with it. Yes, there are things I wanted to do and see before that last day, but I think you get to a certain age and make peace with whatever it is you have or haven't done, can or can't do. I'd say good bye to loved ones and ask for them to find homes for my rescues. Lastly, when I'm gone, just cremate me and take my ashes to a happy place.

If today was my last day...
I'd want to hug Stoney for the longest time. Because forever home is how it feels in hys arms. And that is all I can bring myself to say about that. I'd want to talk. I'd want to say the inane stuff I've learned from life. To remember the joys and stupid stuff that tripped me up. And Share a meal with friends. I'd want to hear a strangers wish or dream. To take something new with me. Maybe it would help them. |

If today was my last day;
I would use every minute of it as wisely as I possibly could. I would get out my camcorder and make a video for my son reminding him how much I love him and that I hope he goes far in life with the love and teachings I have him in his 5 short years. I would talk to family and make sure my final wishes are known and respected. Also let the organ donation team know it's almost time. I would also have a final celebration meal with my closest family and friends to reminisce the good times, ask forgiveness for things I may need to ask for and pray my final moments are peaceful and sweet.

Having been in the position to say good bye to both my parents one (me) didn't say much, go into the light and I will take care of him, I love you. My father passed without a word as he went peacefully in his sleep.
I've gone through 2 major surgeries and all I could say to her was I love you, and that is all one can really say, and mean it. The rest is in the Universes' hands.

If today were my last day...
I would gather everyone I love, including my fuzz-family, and embrace them all, telling them how much I loved them. I'd probably hug my son the longest. And then spend the rest of the day in each others' company, telling every funny story we could think of...laughing and enjoying ourselves. That is how I would want to go out...surrounded by laughter and love.

If today was my last, I would forgive myself all of my mistakes, missteps and human frailties; that the one I love knew how much and would spend my last hours with my daughters and grandchildren.
I would then be at peace to go.

I would just spend a normal day with my children, as many friends as could come, and loved ones.
Anyone else wondering why we don't do all these things now?

First, I would call out at work. Finally, I could actually call in dead. Well, almost.
Then, I'd spend a bit o' time making official plans and tying up those financial loose ends. Then, the fam and I would head to something memorable, so Baby Luv would have a lasting memory. Something fun that radiated happiness and would make her think of me every time she came across it again. I'd see some friends if I could. If I couldn't, then I'd watch over them later and totally haunt one or two of them. I'd indulge in the stuff that I try to consume in moderation. It would almost certainly involve ice cream. I think I'd wind down the night with Luvs and Baby Luv in bed, talking about what we like best about the other and how proud we are of one another and how much we are loved and that we are so lucky to be part of that fraction that is loved and knows it. In the morning, I'm making WAFFLES. |
