Imagine.............. (18)
rusty_knight: Imagine that you knew you only had a year to live!
Imagine all the wonderful things you can do and how much you'd appreciate each season in all its glory!
Imagine that you're going to be healthy and wealthy in those 365 precious days before you die.
Imagine the wonderful friends you have, and the members of your family you love dearly and what you can do together and things you can discuss with them and meals you can share and walks you can go on and other activities you can do.
Imagine you have maybe more than a year left to live........
What's different?

There would be nothing different. I live every day as my last. No things I would change. Nothing I have missed. Life is and has been good.

Have to agree with above post. I have had a lucky life so far. I may just plan a trip to Vegas or something but other than that stay as i am

I don't know what I would do. I guess that I would have to know for certain that I had the year to live. I take care of all my necessary business such as funeral arrangements, etc. so that no one else would have to do it.
I really don't know. I don't think that I want to know actually.
Just spring it on me. heh heh...as King's quest VI says "Heir today, gone tomorrow"

The only thing that would be different in that situation verses my reality now is that I would do things for me that I wanted to do, one in particular that I am not doing out of respect for the other person. If I knew I was going to die within a year however I would say sod it and do those things I do not do right now out of respect for others.
maybe that is a wrong answer to give but I can't help it as I hate to bother other people etc... so yeah it would be different for me right now. 
Always like these kind of thoughts because I can read them quite often and each time my answer that comes first to my mind changes either slightly or completely, keeps things interesting.

I don't think that my respect for others would change, but I think that I would probably take more chances with others that I don't take now...but then...what if things changed. What if they made a mistake and I wasn't going to die within a year. Would I live on to regret the things that I'd done? Too many questions, not enough answers.

I wouldn't regret a thing. My views of respect are not typical and I am not meaning that I would walk around cussing out certain folks etc or anything of that nature. I mean respect for their wishes and the like would change... example My sister not wanting me to go out of my way to do things for her... my mom the same thing... etc... I respect their wish in that regard but if I only had a year left you can bet I would simply do things for them anyway regardless of their request that I not... things of that nature is what I mean.
As for regreting later... nope.. still wouldn't have any no matter if I live 50 years past the date. Life is still much to short and offers way to much to learn to have any regrets of anything.

I'm glad that you cleared that up. I thought that you were going to stop respecting others. I should have known that wasn't true of you.
