Last day of your life ?

Live each day as if it were your last ........

This particular instruction is given in so many articles , books , blogs etc and I think .. what is the fuss all about ? I guess I have not reached the "Aha" moment for this yet ...... :) No .. change that to .. I know I have not reached the spiritual awakening required to appreciate that line ! :)

This recommendation is supposed to make you contact people from whom you are estranged , people you want to forgive ( or want to gain forgiveness ) , make your loved one feel extra special etc .... But I think .. would I call any one with whom I have had a falling out with ? No ... they are ex-friends for a reason ! :) Of course not always acrimonious reasons ..

One cannot live in a state raised awareness forever .. so like it or not .. we slide into the regular rhythm of ignoring many important things and getting back to the grind ..... so may be this suggestion is better suited to considering it as as advisement to take a breather ... to stop and smell the roses ... :)

So what runs through my mind if it were my last day is .....

• I would do no laundry !!! LOL :)
• I would eat only junk food ... probably killing myself in that hour itself .. :)
• See if all my loved ones could take a holiday and spend the day with me ... :)

... and many more things which are squarely centered in the material world ... :)))

Although I think ..... I would not call any of my friends either ... it being the last day .. I think I would expect them to understand that I would want to spend every minute with my family ! :) I wonder now .. Am I going to lose any friends for saying this ? :)
