If you had one year to live
would you do
what Erica Morawski
I would sell or give away all of my possessions and travel the world with my husband and son. My travels would include some kind of volunteer work that would have positive social impact in the countries I visited, specifically whether it was to ensure clean drinking water or build a school. I’d end up in Maine to spend the remaining days mostly in nature with family and close friends and we’d have a big party where Mick Jagger, James Taylor and Stevie Nicks would come as surprise guests to serenade us.
If I had one year to live, I would construct myself a lake house, that was cozy and quaint, but perfect for summer barbecues. The house would have a large backyard that I would string with warm, glowing fairy lights for late summer eve- nings, a fire-pit for s’more-making and a hammock for hanging around on lazy, hot, humid days. In the evenings, I would sit on adirondack chairs with family, friends, and ice cold beers to watch the sunsets over the water.

I had one year to live I would
take my mom to visit Giraffe Manor in Kenya because we used to pre- tend we were giraffes when I was a child. I would take my boyfriend and my closest friends to Australia and New Zealand for a month. I would finally write a book which has been a lifelong goal of mine to inspire others to live their lives passionately and fearlessly so they have no regrets when they die.

If I had one year to live, I would spend every day with my family, talking and laughing. Ideally, we’d be in my backyard, and every day would feel like summer. We’d be listening to relaxing, country music and eating cool pasta salad and hot off the grill burgers and hotdogs. When winter and fall finally came, we’d head off to someplace warm and humid and repeat our perfect summer days.
I would spend all the time that I could with my children (Hannah and Judah), Rachel, my spouse, and my family and friends just “to be” present and live and enjoy the time that I am afforded. I’d take photographs every day, go on a daily walk with my dogs, go for hikes and nature walks, cook a different meal every other day, listen to music daily. I would also fundraise and help a cause that is dear to me. I’d love to travel to Iceland (or Greenland or the Arctic Circle) to see the Northern Lights, the Aurora Borealis, in person again and to star gaze
With one year left to live, I would want my children (now young adults) to know how proud I am of them and what great people they have grown into and also let them know that the only thing that matters in life is to find their own happiness. I would make sure my Parents truly understood how ap- preciative I am for always being there for me and instilling the prin- ciple of always doing my best. Fi- nally, I would spend as much time as my shorten life allowed continu- ing our adventures together with my beautiful girlfriend.
