So I'm reading another book. This one is
called "Final Exits-the illustrated Encyclopedia on
How we die"
Now don't think I am morbid, it's just really
interesting.
This is what the book says--
"To die, kick the bucket, to meet your Maker, dead as a doornail, get whacked, smoked, bite the dust, sleep with the fishes, go six feet under—whatever death is called, it's going to happen. In 1789 Ben Franklin wrote, "In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." Death remains a certainty. But how do we die? It's the enormous variety of how that enlivens final exits.

According to death certificates, in 1700 there were less than 100 causes of death. Today there are 3,000. With each advance of technology, people find new ways to become deceased, often causing trends that peak in the first year. People are now killed by everything, from cell phones, washing machines, lawn mowers and toothpicks, to the boundless catalog of man—made medicines. In Final Exits the causes of death—bizarre or common—are alphabetically arranged and include actual accounts of people, both famous and ordinary, who unfortunately died that way. (Ants, bad words, Bingo, bean bag chairs, flying cows, frozen toilets, hiccups, lipstick, moray eels, road kill, starfish, and toupees are only some of the more unusual causes"

Okay, so I'm reading this and then I visit Keshi's blog
and her blog post is about "6 month notice"
What would you do if you knew you only had six months.
My reply:
What a deep subject to ponder.
I wonder what I would do if I had 6 months........
1) Probably freak out a bit. This means crying, feeling sorry for myself, being angry, and then I hope I would come to acceptance becuz without it I could not live out my months as I would hope.
2) I would have to spend time at the beach. Since I live about 8 hours away from the closest beach I would have to spend some time there....I would hope to expire there.
3) I, too, would have to go out and eat all my favorite foods.
4) Write letters to all my loved ones and to ALL who have touched my life in a positive way. I hope that I don't feel the need to write to those who haven't touched me positively, I have this bad urge to write them a guilt trip letter. I hope I would rise above that naughty temptation.
5) Strengthen my faith. I hope to be as close to God and Jesus as I possibly can before I hope to finally meet them in person.
6) Tie up loose ends. Make sure that I got rid of as much debt so my husband wouldn't be left with it. So I definitely couldn't quit my job. I would also sell alot of my frivilous material goods that I have. Some of course, I would give away to loved ones and other things I would donate.
7) I would want to plan out my funeral service. I would want to see what all my priest was going to say about me. I would pick out the music, my casket, my plot, my outfit. I probably would write a letter to be read at my funeral.

Now it's your turn, I ask this question of you---
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU KNEW YOU ONLY HAD 6 MONTHS??????
