About 15 years ago I was told that I had a blood clot in my brain!. They
told me that they were going to try and dissolve it, but that if it broke free during the process, which involved medication over a period of time, I would be dead before I hit the floor!. How did my life change!? Not very much!. I wrote letters to the people I love, which I still do,I told people I loved them more often & I decided not to let people get away with being rude or unkind!. I also made a conscience decision to smile at strangers, give service people a break when they're in a bad mood & to let the other guy have the right of way when I'm driving!. I also decided to start making more memories with my loved ones!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if i decide that i would change, that would mean i have regrets over the results of my actions from past!. I have been moving on towards what i wanted and will continue to live that way to the day i die!.

The greatest accomplishment in life is not achieving something great!. It's to find something to achieve and keep tryingWww@QuestionHome@Com

You're not one of those 2012 freaks, are you!?

I was going to say that I would give all my money to the poor!. But God is a bit of a trickster and He would probably reward me by extending my life!. Which would be rather moot because I wouldn't have any money to live on!.

So instead I'll go with get laid a lot more!. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing!. Life is good just the way it is right now!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would do all the things i have ever wanted to do!. I would jump out of a plane, go bungee jumping, travel to india, fiji, italy,ireland and every other country i could get to!. I would eat something funky somewhere outhere in the world, i would wanna learn how to cook thai and indian and how to make my own sushi!. Yumm eat sushi in Japan!. Go to the Himalayan mountains and meditate with the monks!. I dont know if i would want to have a child!.!.!.!.the thought of me dying and leaving it behind would break my heart!. I wouldnt want the child to hate me for bringing them into this world knowing that i would leave soon!. Only if my significant other would want us to have a child, then i would know that the child would be taken care of and loved!. I would want to either write a journal or a book about all my journeys!. Would love to leave a video diary for my family and my child if i had one!. I would wanna make love in the rain, skinny dipping under the stars in the ocean, sleep on a beach, fly a kite, get a puppy, forgive everyone i have ever been hurt by, have everyone forgive me that i have hurt!.!.!.just learn how to be a better person, and inspire others to do the same!. I would want to leave this planet knowing that i was loved, and that i will be missed!. I guess i dont have to wait till i know that i only have 5yrs to live, that could be now!. We should all live our lives as if we knew we only had 5yrs left to live!. Maybe we would all be better people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think I'd continue down the same path, just pick up the pace a little to meet my goals!. also, I'd probably want to have a child!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd take buckets of manure and spread it over all the people and places that bug me!. Then I'd smile and become worm food!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
