Most of us lead everyday hum-drum- routine based lives. We have to work, we have to take care of the kids, animals, house, cars etc.... But what if you just found out today you had 1 Week to live. What would you do.
I am not looking for answers like " I would Cry", I would be hysterical, or anything like that. Of course we would react first with all of those emotions. But once you got past that what is the first thing that you would do? Would you run? travel? would you hide away? what would you do?

Perhaps, first of all I would question myself what I did with my life, did I learn my lessons well, how and if I can repair what I did wrong. This would give me a clue of what I should do next. But for sure, I would make peace with myself, enjoy and cherish my last moments with my family, friends & enemies, people and nature around me, as well as with myLot :). And maybe, in my last day, I would tide back, preparing myself for leaving this world with serenity.

I saw you posted this last week and I have taken some time to actually think about this. It motivated me to do something that I've been wanting to do so first of all I want to say thank you.
Well, if I found out that I had one week to live I would sit down with a lawyer and make sure my belongings all got into a will and that things went to the right people. Secondly, I would contact the adoption agency that I placed my daughter with and arrange to see her one last time before I passed away.
I would spend time with each of my friends and family and talk with them. I would tell them how they touched my life and why they were so special to me. I would tell them I love them and to push on forward and make their lives something wonderful.
I would eat lavishly and spend money like there was no tomorrow, for in a week there wouldn't be. I would go do as many of the things on my To Do Before I Die list as I possibly could.

its a journey of going home to our creator.
if I have a week before I go back to my creator, first I will reflect as to have I finish my purpose in this world, did I give a good fight in life... I am telling this for I know already my mission in this world one is to help in the advocacy for blind children, this was realized when my blind son was born. I can only do that mission for I myself is a parent of a blind child ( just by posting here telling about my son is already part of my mission)
then a typical answer would to spend all my time with family then visit my mother in the cemetery and will ask her to wait for me and guide me as I journey home.
part of being with family is to visit as many churches as I can and to end it with a charity work.

I would visit all of the places I enjoyed with my parents before they passed away. THEN...I would hit every amusement park I could and ride every ride until I got sick, and then start all over again. (All the screaming would help relieve the frustration! LOL)
