100 reasons to live to 100
From a newspaper:
"I need to do much: like graduate from university. See a lot of sunsets and dawns, and this blue sky. I want to say many times to my friends that I love them. Send parents to some trip. To live along longer than month. And live with someone also longer than month...
Eat all candies, cakes and pastries. Promise yourself no to eat anything anymore. Star going to gym regularly and regularly give up this business. Begin a new life on Monday. Start studying French, Spanish and Japanese all over again. Take lots of pictures and decide not to eat anything again. Go to a kitchen and finish the remains of a pie. And decide that it’s better to take pictures of other people...
Read kilometers of books and write meters of articles and centimeters something else... Pack suitcases many times a year. Wait till time, when I will have vacation more than 2 weeks and when I will be able to afford more than journey to the seaside, in the business trip... Buy rollers and skates. And again begin a new life on Monday. Dive with scuba. Hang the photos all over the room. Fall in love, become a mother. Have a strong family and cozy house... Take care of grandchildren and realize how old-fashioned you are. But remember that you not alone - next to you there’s the same backward, old, but still very nice. And when we will go for a walk, holding hands, all will be touched: what a couple... Nothing will scare us anymore...
So this is how much to do. And this is not the end of the list. Can’t recall everything at the moment...
But sometimes it seems that life is not always in our hands. It can be in the hands of some drunk driver or illnesses or... the list is endless.
But you know that I realized that if that I am not terrified. Today is the most wonderful day in my life. And yesterday as well..."
