### Instruction:
If you were the last person on Earth, what thoughts would you leave behind in a diary if future life were to find it?

### Response:
I sit here today writing this diary entry as the last person on Earth.  It is a feeling like no other and I can say, never in a million years would I have believed this to be a distinction bestowed upon me.  But, here I am... just me and Mother Earth.  Idle time is not my friend so I try to stay busy.   Today, I am busy reflecting upon my 56 years on Earth and lessons learned.  Not just lessons I learned from my personal experience, but what I believe are lessons learned for all mankind.  The lessons are clear.  And all of the lessons are simple practices that I feel we have drifted away from in our modern day.  If I had to summarize all of my learnings into one statement it would read like this... "Live simply, love, find faith/hope in a higher source, move every day, work hard on relationships and building communities (real and face to face), find time to rest and creating space and be thankful."  That's it!  As I said, the lessons are clear.  I would like to think that life on Earth will somehow, someway start again and someone will find this diary.  And, if that happens, then maybe, just maybe, another human race can benefit from my feelings on life and "living".
