What would you do if:
– you knew you only had five minutes to live?
– you just found out that you only had five minutes to live?
– you had to live out your last five minutes in surprise and solitude?
Well? What would YOU do? HURRY UP! Time’s ticking!
I like this new "format"…kind of makes me feel like I'm in school!
Being a parent, my children (ages 24 and 27) are/would always be the first thought if I had only 5 minutes so, for the purpose of this exercise, I'm going to leave them out of the equation.
If I had time to prepare, I would say good bye to as many people I could and tell them how important they were to me – maybe throw a party?
If I was caught by surprise I would….hmmm, this one is difficult. I'll go with your idea. What's the worst thing that could happen – get slapped…hey, I'm gonna die in 5 minutes, who cares?
If I were alone I would contemplate what is about to happen, meditate and be at peace.
