100 or 1

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? ~Stephen Levine

This is post number 100 and so I guess I should write something profound (hence the quote). Honestly, I am surprised that I have been able to write for 100 days straight. It has been an interesting journey. Hopefully you are enjoying it, too.

So…Friday night and I am home after a hectic workweek, that has had busy evenings too. I am awaiting a call from a friend in Vancouver after months of saying we should catch up.

There was a time in my life where I could talk on the phone for hours. I don’t do that so much now and it usually goes in spurts. I will call one friend and then decide that was so much fun I should touch base with someone else. This quote did make me think as to why I do wait to call people.

Stephen Levine is always thought provoking. I am not sure I have an easy answer to this question. I can assume that my family would be with me at this time, and those closest to me, if I knew in advance. If however, I had just been shot and was slowly bleeding out (morbid thought, bear with me—CSI is on in the background), then I think I might call my dad. I am sure my mom would answer the phone though and that might be a problem as I would have trouble getting a word in edge-wise as my blood seeped out of my body.

OK, so this is not turning out to be profound and my brother is probably saying, stop trying comedy—that is my territory. If I called him, I would draw my last breath, laughing, I am sure.

The trouble is that I have led my life, developing friendships that are dear to me. I would have to plead more than one measly call, unless it was a conference call. How many people can I talk to at one time max?

Blog 100—quite an achievement. Maybe I could write one last blog instead of one last phone call, Stephen. Is there room for negotiation here?

Ok, you think that is an easy question, then you answer it. Who would you call and what would you say?

Peace,

Suzanne
