When The Last Day Comes...

I was just sitting at my computer searching this wonderful site when a thought began to plague me. "What would I do, if today was my last day?"

I know it is a bit cliche sorta speak. But I began to think on it for quite some time. And I have yet to come with a one hundred precent truthful answer of what I would do if today was my last day.

So, this is what I want you all to do. Search. Search deep within yourself. Tread the long forgotten caverns of your soul and walk the paths that have remained unwalked.

Now tell me, what would you do, if today was your last day?

    It's funny to see this today ...

    I'm not feeling up to writing now, but I wonder if you've ever read "The Last French Lesson"? It's quite something.

    Good luck with your contest.

    Thank you for the acknowledgement!

    Thank you, Justin, for your acknowledgement!
    i am delighted as i have never won gold before

    it is understandable that the contest came second to the more important issues on your life.
    I know the places i go when i am rejected and feel loss, i wish you kindness for yourself in visiting those spaces,

    warm wishes,
    Isabella
