Wow, I would have to tell my kids and hubby I love them, and I am grateful to have them in my life. I would have to call my dad and say good by. My friends would have to get an I love you too. I would have such a hard time just finding the words to write on paper. I do not know if I could use my last 15 minute of life writing.
We are afraid of truth, afraid of fortune, afraid of death, and afraid of each other. Our age yields no great and perfect persons. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
You just discovered you have fifteen minutes to live.1. Set a timer for fifteen minutes.
2. Write the story that has to be written.
I would want to see the sun shining one last time. I would want a hug. This challenge is something I have to decline in the form of written words. Because the selfish me would want to see, touch taste feel. One more bite of chocolate. One more look into every ones eyes.
One more blog post to tell you all. I love you too. This would be my extent of writing. I need every one to know how much your kind and loving words have brought joy to my life. I think this is the most important thing in life. Share the love.
As for words of wisdom. I would let my grand kids know.
Life is full of test. Some refer to them as problems.
If you just treat each instance as a learning lesson. As in what do I do. The answer to some things is nothing. Just let it be. It will pass. Do not take any thing personal. And do not waste your life. Thinking you are a victim of any one.
This thought leads you to a life as a slave to this thought.
Then one day you wake up and find. You gave up your entire life to something that happened 40 years ago. You must learn asap. You do not want to become the slave to your negative thoughts.
Ps, Amy calls and tells me to write She gets every thing. :)
NOTE: This is a 30 day challenge of writing prompts.
Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

You make a great point. If I really only had 15 minutes, I think writing is probably the last thing I'd do. I don't think of myself as a Capital-W "writer" - it's just a tool that reflects the rest of my life.
Very profound words, I too wouldnt want to spend too much time writing. I too would want that last kiss, hug and to tell my family and friends I love them. As for Amy, she sounds like my Stephanie, she thinks she is better at the money thing than her brother. lol
Wow, just thinking of it makes me shutter. That's not enough time to connect the way I'd want to...but I'd be making calls to my kids like crazy. I wouldn't be writing...and I hope I've already passed on any 'wise words' I may have. I'd want the hugs and kisses from my kids and grandkids, but that would be pretty impossible. Let's hope we are never faced, even remotely, with such a situation.
Very nice! Especially I liked "If you just treat each instance as a learning lesson. As in what do I do. The answer to some things is nothing. Just let it be. It will pass. Do not take any thing personal. And do not waste your life. Thinking you are a victim of any one."
Thank you, and good luck with the rest of #Trust30!
