I read a blog last week that got me thinking. It was titled, Last Rites. Trust me, it’s not at all what you expect. Initially, Geoff talked of celebrating “firsts” and he goes on to say:
But we do not get as many opportunities to celebrate last times, partly because of the difficulty in recognizing them.
The post is funny and I encourage the quick read here. I read it twice. With humor he writes of celebrating lasts.
I did not know it would be the last time I…
So how about you?
What would you celebrate if you knew it was your last time?

Without a doubt I would have celebrated my last competitive running race by winning, no matter what it took. I would have enjoyed emptying the candy jar at my grandmothers house. And this weekend, while at the park with my grandkids, if I thought this would be the last time we were sliding down the hill on cardboard boxes, we would stay until dark.

And what would you gladly celebrate knowing it would be your last time?
Hands down! If I could get someone to fold my laundry every day, I would gladly do a happy dance. And traffic/ rush hour? Happy hour would be that much nicer, wouldn’t it? But to never request a “representative” five or six times to speak to a human on the phone would be elation.

Thanks for the fun ponder to start my day Geoff. I volunteer to be present at your wake. Be well.

Thank you Donna for such nice words. I apologize for my delinquint response. I have been on the road and struggling to post on my phone and not getting to my reading and commenting. I have plunged in at random. I wish a sophisticated sorting algorithm ordered everything by importance to me. Your post would have come up first. And speaking of that, what a wonderful piece you wrote (without regard to your cue). I loved it and the photographs.

Thanks. And more important thank YOU. I love things that make me think. Life is precious, and I loved the way you presented it here.
I SO get your frustration of posting from a phone. It is too hard, and blogging is something we are supposed to love, so…when time allows…. I was wearing those same shoes a few weeks back when traveling. Steals the fun out of it.
I am currently catching up from the holiday. Have a good week. Donna
