snowlynx: Spot on....

If I'd one day left:
I'd write a note to my siblings saying thanks for everything. I'd write a note to my friends saying goodbye. I'd write a note to my nephews/nieces telling them how proud I am of how they turned out.
I'd go for one last walk.
I'd read my favourite poetry. (I wouldn't have time for a whole book).
Finally I'd start drinking and listening to my favourite music. I'd drink a lot because if there's no tomorrow then there's no hangover right?
I thought about writing nice letter to everyone I love and like, but decided against it: the last day of my life I want to spend totally selfishly :)

Somehow I didn't think about alcohol. What the point in drinking yourself into oblivion, as you are heading there anyway? It shortens the remaining time.

It's just my thoughts, you do as you wish :)

bodleing2: If you contemplate on the 'fact' that you might die today when you wake up in the morning, the day takes on a whole new meaning.
I did Manasarati meditation a couple of times: changes some perspectives indeed :)

I once was given the "opportunity" to question my life choices and existence and as a result, I set about creating for myself a life and lifestyle that feels satisfactory, enjoyable, pleasant, peaceful, mentally and emotionally rewarding and spiritually nourishing.

So on my last day of this life I created for myself I would start my day with my Tibetan rites exercises and morning meditation and write any "insights" that come to me ….

I would take my dogs for a walk in the mountains and breathe in the scents of the trees and flowers...

On my return, have one last coffee and may be breakfast at my favourite local and unbeknown to them say some silent goodbyes to people I bump into...

Later I would organise an online party with all my loved ones who live in other countries and share some love and laughter heart beating

Then I would look through my food cupboards and eat all the best succulent foods, slowly, savouring each earthly mouthful, sitting on the terrace overlooking the mountains, listening to the bells on the goats in their paddocks in the distance …

Sometime later I'd water the flowers and plant pots and go down and
water my veg...

Then I would settle in my warm comfy bed and send loving peaceful vibes to my loved ones and all mankind and write some last words for my loved ones … listen to some solfeggio frequency music … may be I'll get up again and create one last painting yay

To be honest, I don't think we can really know what we would do until faced with the reality of it …

Do not go gentle into that good night
Dylan Thomas - 1914-1953

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I'm rather a reader, not a writer, but I'll consider the option :)

Indeed. Think if it'd be a rainy day and you'd need to fill the time you plan to spend watering with something else :)

I somehow always found it to be slightly "for show"- as to challenge a tsunami. Good to read aloud for an auditorium, but I wouldn't choose it for comforting myself.

If it was a rainy day I'd light a fire in my stove leave the door open and sit on the rug with the dogs watching the flames dance their dance daydream

Tulefell: Are we allowed to reveal private conversations here?
Think we can make an exception in this case.
Someone said that someone said that Jesus said something.

It's nearer to being just gossip rather than a private conversation
dunno
