Would you sit back for the first year or two and then cram everything you ever wanted to experience into the later months?
Would you make a list of all the things you ever thought about doing and begin working your way through them immediately?
As your time is short, would you put yourself first and expect others to indulge you or would you continue life as it is, making no changes so as not to discommode your loved ones?
For some time now I've been promising my children that I will call them long before dawn, with a warm packed picnic for breakfast and go somewhere beautiful to watch the sun rise. I've also told them we'll go looking for mermaids. I think I'll start with that.......
Incidentally I'm feeling really well and have no reason to believe I won't live to 100!
If you were to take just a few minutes to note the things you'd really like to do, what would you come up with?
I think I would do a combination of the things you've listed here. I wouldn't tell anyone because I wouldn't want to worry people or have them waiting around for me to die. I would try to do some of the things I have wanted to do and put off but for the most part life would probably go on as is and I would just enjoy the time left with my family.
