Assuming You Mean Desert Island
Posted: 02-16-08 22:27pm

Like when we were kids and said we would go down by the creek and set up a tent and camp out. For me, that was out of the question, because the trains came through our farm property and you wouldn't be safe.

I would want water and lots of it. A means to communicate for somebody to PLEASE COME GET ME! Then, let's look around for what kind of food we have here on this piece of earth.

Thirdly I would want to be with someone I loved. Somebody who actually cared for me.

Then, I would like to be able to realize that my life was blessed and I am still among the living.

And, finally, I would like to be able to know that my life had meaning and that everything that I had gone through was for a reason. Most of all, the reason for me to look from the beginning to the point that I was then and now was worth the journey.

Well I only meant that it's possible. Not that I can. I remember trying to do that with sticks when I was little lol. Reminds me of that movie with Tom Hanks...where he gets stranded on an island for 5 years or something, oh yeah Castaway I think it was called.

Yes. Good choices, especially your children, water and your faith. Those are just things I could never live without, anywhere.

And, If It Is Going To Be A Beach Party
Posted: 02-18-08 19:59pm

We should really have true friends. Friends who stand by us through thick and thin. Friends who aren't just there to say the nice things, but friends who will honestly be there for you in truth. Telling the truth has never been a problem for me even though my dad used to say, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." There is also truth in that. But, I think it takes courage to speak your truth to a friend, even though it may not be the truth they want to hear. All good things in moderation.

And, the means to survive on a deserted island. As I said before, water, and one would need shelter, food of course and a means of preparation and cooking it.

With the right environment, you could almost set up your own colony.
