If I only had 37 days to live, I would stop working and live. I would go on a driving trip across Canada, stopping in small towns and just sitting in the parks observing life, and bring both my children with me if they would come so we could take the time to really talk and get to know each other and how we really feel about things. I would visit my mother and talk about life and us and not just talk about the weather and argue over politics! Of course I would take my dogs for long walks and enjoy them for what they are.
I would not just tell my family I loved them, I would show them by doing something for them.
Would I write a book of sayings that my mother/father said; family stories I've heard? I would if I had time and I would journal my feelings so my family would get to know me better. After writing this, I wonder why I haven't done it before!

If I have only 37 days to live, I promise to live my life to the fullest. Thanks for sharing this thought, it make me realize again that life is too short.

Each day I would contact an old friend that I don't see as much as I'd like – two of my college roommates who live 4 hours away come to mind first. I'd visit them and talk about old times and let them know what impact they had on my life. If my health were good, I would volunteer at a home for teenage moms. I know it sounds corny, but lately I've been feeling that I need to give more. I also feel out of touch with my old life.

I should probably say something like spend more time with my kids, really listen to them, etc, etc, but I really already feel like I do that – so that wouldn't change in my last 37 days. Maybe I'd be nicer to my husband, though!

I brought my husband home on October 16 and into the care of hospice. My sweetheart passed on into eternal life the 5th of November. Those days together were filled with caring, sweetness, joy, laughter, and tears. I wondered if Adam found my attempt to remain positive and smiling a detraction from what he was facing, that question was answered when he laid his hand on my face and said, “I know.” Adam was aphasic from strokes he survived in 2000 and speech was very difficult for him. Our years since 2000 were not those many would claim as “quality” of life – but Adam taught me patience, love without words, the art of truly listening, and the necessity of celebrating the here and now. I would hope that I could display the courage and love Adam displayed if I had only 37 days left to celebrate life.

If I had to go in 37 days time, I think there is no unfinished business to settle. Maybe I will ask some questions I always meant to ask.

I would quit my job, which is a long-term project that cannot be finished in that short a time (it is not something anyone is waiting for to finish). I might write a document for someone to take over if they want.

Then, I would pick or make a personal gift for each of my friends and family and write them a note. Just kind words of encouragement and to tell them what they mean(t) to me. Actually, I do the gift picking thing on a regular basis, but do not include the notes. I'll start doing that.

Most likely, I'll first spend time in solitude for the gifts-and-notes, then go out en give them, saying goodbye and see you to all.

I'd spend time with friends and family. I'd hug my kids and my husband. I'd want my family and best friend with me at the end. I try to spend as much time now with my friends and family as I can. I've designed my work to fit with my lifestyle and my desire to be with those who matter most to me.

I would quit my job, take my partner home to Tennessee, and paint in my Uncle Ronnie's cabin in his yard, looking at the Smoky mountains, every day.

definitely not going to work. In faci I think I would just quit work and spend the rest of my time with my family!
