What if you only had one month to live?

Our church will be starting a study after Easter called "One Month to Live" and using the book with the same title for our small group studies. We picked up our books this morning, so I haven't had time to look through it. But this topic has been bouncing around in my head ever since the new study was announced a few weeks ago. What would you do if you had only one month to live? I've been thinking about that. I think I would spend time at first contacting all of my friends and relatives to let them each know what a special part they played in my life. If we have had strained relationships, I would take the full blame - even if I wasn't fully to blame - so as I apologize and to receive forgiveness for whatever my part might have been. (I know God has already forgiven me for my transgressions, but it would be nice to repair earthly human relationships.) If I was still physically able to get around, I would want to ride a roller coaster one more time. I haven't been able to ride many roller coasters since I hurt my back and my knee. If I couldn't get to an amusement park, I would order some videos of roller coaster rides to enjoy (with quick, overnight shipping, of course). Each day, I would begin my day with the Lord and would spend time with Him. Then, as the time wound down, and the month became only days to live, I would seclude myself at home, making sure that I spent more and more time with the Lord. If it was His desire, I would share about those visits with my friends and relatives near and far. I would write, both online and in my journal. And I would hug my family close. I'm sure that one of the purposes of the study is to point out that most of these are things I could do even without the motivation of having only one month to live.
