I would spend the day telling everyone how much I loved them.
A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings
Your brother

Depends on when that is...
If it happened right now, when I have a 5 year old boy..I would spend the entire day with him, explaining that I am not choosing to leave him...
If it happened when I had no son, or my son was grown....I would spend the day shooting up coke and heroin.
Go ahead gives me thumbs down. I am not a druggie at all. I just figure if it is my last day on earth, and having sex with Salma Hayek is not a possibility. Why not see what coke and heroin feel like. Maybe go out happy. Certainly don't have to worry about long term effects of drugs..

Idyllically.
Hell if it's the last day I have I'm not going to go running rampant trying to stuff as much as I can into it!
I'm going to spend it in peace and comfort. Good foods, loving atmosphere, fine cigars and top of the line Scotch.
The living will do fine without me tomorrow, but for my last day? I'm going to live as graciously as I can, idyllically.

Wouldn't know which is the last day of life.... till after death!! Thank God!!!
If somehow I do come to know, I would probably be worried mad over not being able to guess what is in store for me the next day!!

if i knew it was my last day alive, i would spend some of it with my family. i would tell them i love them. tell them I'm sorry for everything. i would spend it with my closest friends. be with them laugh with them. love them. id tell them that. then i would write letters to every one telling them even more i love them and Cherish them. tell them to open there minds and everything will be fine. i would kiss the man i loved and cry in his arms. and then id leave. id get a cup of perfect hot cocoa( cocoa with extra chocolate and some candy cane melted into it and maybe a marshmallow). then i would grab my favorite book. my book that has meaning. more that it would to others. i would sit down with a blanket and a dim light and read until all was over. all was done.

i would probably spend my last day in bewilderment and regret wondering what the hell just happened to my life.
