This is week twenty-two in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”
There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.
Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.
This week’s questions:
If you could decide how to spend your last day alive, what would you do?
Wow. I guess we’re not going to ease into that question this week, are we…
I’m not sure I would want to know it was my last day, but that’s neither here nor there. I guess I would like to spend it surrounded by all of my family and friends. And just sharing some final moments together. Remembering good times. Laughing (if that’s even possible considering the circumstances). Just being together. I think it would be a beautiful way to leave and would perhaps give me strength and courage to face the end.
And…just answering that question has caused me to start crying. Thanks, If Project. Thanks a lot.
If you could decide what will be written on your gravestone, what would you have inscribed?
Seriously?! Is this macabre week in the If Project? What the hell?!
“To die would be an awfully big adventure…”
If you could choose the single most valuable thing you ever learned, what would it be?
Virtually anything from Conversations With God.
If you were kidnapped and allowed to telephone one person for one minute only, who would you call?
The police? Can I call the police? They’d probably be able to trace the call and find me. But were I not able to call the police, I would call my mother and tell her I loved her in case I was not ever rescued.
Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?
