Day 11

Day 11: Something I'd like to do before I die.

I absolutely LOATHE it when people say, "You have your whole life ahead of you to live."

This just so happens to be my mother's favorite phrase.

What's wrong with living now? In the moment? 

If work at Primary Children's Medical Center and it has taught me that any day can be your last day. Death does not wait until you're old, lived a good life, traveled the world and fallen desperately in love. It strikes when it wants, where it wants and how it wants.

I utterly DESPISE it when people say, "You have your whole life ahead of you to live."

Maybe I don't, fools. That's why I am going to live now.

But here are a few things I WILL do before I die. If I do not complete this list than I will be ornery and too stubborn to die :)

Skydive.
Spend time exploring all of the 7 man-made Wonders
Adopt a child. Or a few. Or a lot...
Write a book. 
Own the rights to a star. 
Lose myself in the Northern Lights.
 Be in love like this. 

I refuse to live life planning for tomorrow.

I live for today. 

Love always, 
     Christine
