I learned a language, I want to dance, and I want to have a smile on my face. I hope for all of these things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383314722437997076.post-4391749201842381212009-10-19T10:15:12.996-06:002009-10-19T10:15:12.996-06:00Thanks everyone, for being vulnerable and sharing ...Thanks everyone, for being vulnerable and sharing what turned out to be some very insightful and often poignant thoughts.<br /><br />As often comes to mind for me, life is precious.

The question posed by the earlier contributor Jane Z is excellent. Why must I wait till I'm dying to live out these dreams or do the things that I'm thinking of now.<br /><br />My list includes moving beyond my fears of intimacy so that I can have a real relationship with my "significant other" as I've been trained to say -- so that I can admit my lover is another woman. I'm so tired of hiding this fact and cannot bear to think of going to my grave with this truth of who I am still hidden.<br /><br />Thank you for creating this posting and to those who commented for inviting me to realize this so deeply.TLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383314722437997076.post-77004067641905982482009-10-16T15:54:09.660-06:002009-10-16T15:54:09.660-06:00Lovely thoughts to all.

I will die soon, no doctor needs to tell me. And if a doctor did tell me I would live longer than their prediction. <br /><br />Love that song, " I hope you get the chance to live your life like your dying."<br /><br />best <br />Thomas M GallagherTom Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09429805813546946828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383314722437997076.post-81917617565259378832009-10-16T15:00:52.953-06:002009-10-16T15:00:52.953-06:00Ah, nothing to brighten up my Friday than the talk...Ah, nothing to brighten up my Friday than the talk of death. I'm kidding, of course. Your post here makes me want to go out and have one helluva weekend, mate.

There a...My, what a deep and evocative question. <br /><br />There are so many things that come to mind. But most of all, I suppose, is that I would spend more time with my husband. Really seeking to know his soul inside and out. The same with my friends. We share time together, but I'm afraid we so often let the busy-ness of life get in the way of our experience of each other.<br /><br />There are places I would go for certain. A beach somewhere -- a place where I could congregate with those who mean so much to me. I would eat and savor food, smells, the morning, the day, the evening and the sounds that I may never hear again. And I would love, make love, be loved deeply, more fully.<br /><br />The question, of course, and perhaps part of your thinking in posting this blog, is why not now? Must I wait for news of my own death before I fully live?<br /><br />You've given me much to think about. My sincere thanks to you.Jane Znoreply@blogger.com
