What if You Had Two Years Left?

What would you do if you had two years left to live?

Now, this isn't some kind of shit way of saying that I have health problems or anything like that, but this question has been rolling around in my head lately.  It's so easy to get caught up in the rabbles and boring stressful stuff from day to day.  At risk of sounding cliche, life passes before you in a flash and you've spent your precious brain power freaking out about things that probably won't happen.

That's where the two year question came up.  What would you do if you had two years left?

In a moment, I felt this lovely sense of distance from all of the stressful stuff.  All the typical things that would bother me or weigh me down suddenly lost their power over me.  It was, and continues to be, absolutely glorious.

Two years--what would I do?

Travel to Ireland
Take a tumbling class
Get started on moving towards to my dream job (being a therapist)
Be outside more
Get rid of clutter
Paint
Run a half-marathon with a friend (that I keep putting off)
Write

It's a fun thing to do with your mind.  It opens up your heart and your imagination.  How long has it been since you let yourself dream?  You'd be surprised at what you find!
