One Short Day

I recently went to see Wicked on tour with Broadway, and it was fantastic! I have had the whole soundtrack in my head lately, but my mind keeps coming back to one song in particular. The song talks about having only "One Short Day in the Emerald City", and how there is "a lifetime of fun" to be had while you are there. That's an interesting thought to me. What if you were to only have One Short Day in a certain place?

One Short Day in New York?
Choose the big things, see those, and move on.

Empire State Building, Broadway, Sacred Grove, Statue of Liberty, etc.

One Short Day in California?
That's a little harder, some things take almost a whole day. But same concept.

Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Pier 39, the coast of the Pacific.

One short day in another country?
Extremely tricky because you don't know the place!

The Taj Mahal, or the Eiffel Tower, Parliament, 'The Rains Down in Africa', (couldn't help myself), or the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

They all seem kinda hard to choose, and it makes it almost impossible to see everything you want knowing you only have 24 hours to do it in.

But then I started thinking today,what if you only had One Short Day, on Earth. What would you do? Would you spend it with family? Would you try and see the world? Where would you go? And how would you choose what to see? Would you try to finish your bucket list? Or try and relax?

These are the things that I have been thinking about, and to be honest, I'm not sure what my answer would be. At first I thought that I would spend my time here doing all the things I love in Utah, but where my Mom is in India is so beautiful, I want to see there too. I have always wanted to travel to Australia, and Spain, France, and Brazil. So much to do before our 'One Short Life' is over.

What are you going to do with it?

Just something to think about.
