Weekend Homework
Happy Friday!
Hello and welcome to your weekend homework assignment. Every Friday I try to give you a little assignment that should be fun or meaningful to you. Some are more fun than others, some are more serious than others. Either way, I try to make it something for your benefit.
For this weekend, I have something for you to do that you have probably heard of or even done, if not thought about doing before.
Death is not a pleasant thing to think about, thus we don’t think about it when we don’t have to. Whether or not we think we are immortal or just take life for granted varies from person to person, but mostly we don’t think about it until something serious happens.
This weekend I want you to not think about your death so much as think about what you want to say to people. If today was your last day, what would you say to people?
Would you remind people how much you love them? Would you tell your son/daughter that you really thought the graffiti wall in their bedroom was a cool idea but they didn’t ask permission so you had to go through with punishment?
Think about what you would say on your last day and take the chance to say it. I know that’s easier said than done, so if you can’t say the words face to face, try writing letters. Keep journals for each member of your family and write letters to them.
