What will you do with your remaining days?
I was watching this tv show tittled ”Letters to heaven” which is about people who’ve passed on and their lives are re-enacted, this particular story was just painful sad to watch so i shut it, was bout this bloke quite young being diagnosed of cancer, stage 4 and that he’d only had a year to live and his best friend was narrating how he was impacted by his friend’s life not sure what happened next but i was just thinking say if you went to the doctor, would you really want to know how long you have got, to live or do you feel ignorance is bliss?
What would you do with the remaining days that you know you have left?
Have you ever thought about this kind of thing?

No, have never thought about death, but I hope it is quick, better yet, I hope it’s in my sleep. Dream on, right?
I think about it every day. My grandfather says it best, “Death just makes room for other things. Also, it gives finality to things. It is because of death that we value our time.”
I think we should give more thought to time. The amounts of it we spend. How we use it. Where we would like to go with ourselves, how long it will last, how long until we get there, how long will we remember it.
~Big Thoughts~
I always thought that it was important for SOMEONE to have fond memories of my life….but over that last few years I have come to see things as they really are…most people are so wrapped up in their own lives that everything others do are just afterthoughts or like the news….it comes and goes, catches your attention, but the next day rolls on with new news (hehe) and yesterday is forgotten and is irrelevant. So is an individuals life unless perhaps you were Jesus or say Hitler. I have no such aspirations and am but a drop in the ocean of life. Even the river that transported me to the ocean (figuratively=my family) has lost sight of me as I flow with the currents that rip me to and fro. Hehe some of that is good material hehe. I’ll be gone and forgotten before I even know it. It would waste more time then I have left to think about death and time and meaning. The End
sure. I did think about it once. I decided to look at life as a household like my ex-mother-in-law runs. She has all sorts of absurd stuff all over the house. Its impossible to live there (to me)… clutter everyplace. I have to remove myself from the absurd. When it comes down to it, there is little that I must do of what seems to hold its hand out to me. I’m not the best at it, but I work at eliminating the absurd clutter in my mind and heart. When God shines upon my soul so that I can feel Him with my resting soul even here in this chaotic place/world, I know that I’ve made some progress that day.
i’m a cancer survivor – but i hate to talk about it
OMG! I dont wanna think about it. But i really wanted to celebrate my bday with the street children or with beggars. im going to give free meals for them..=)
I have cancer once and survived it. Let us pray that I shall live longer and God provides … Amen!
