Live each day as though it may be your last

I am part of a networking group similar to myspace and I ran across a question that got me to thinking.What would you do if the dr. told you that you were dying?I thought and thought and I feel you should live your life like there may not be a tomorrow even without knowing you're dying.Let the people close to you know you love and appreciate them.Hug your kids spend special quality time with them.Aspire to do all the things that you would rush to do if you had a diagnosis that would eventually lead to your death.

Why do so many of us want to rush to enjoy life when you find out it will be soon ending instead of enjoying it on a daily basis? I enjoy the little things and appreciate them daily.The birds singing,the deer coming to my yard,the rabbits hopping around and those raccoons that try to knock my trash over nightly! I enjoy sitting outdoors looking up at the stars with my children trying to find the constellations.Enjoy the now!You don't need an ominous diagnosis to make you get out and smell the roses so to speak.Get in touch with those little things that often go ignored that can make life that much more awesome!

What is your calling?

All of us have a calling on our lives,a purpose for which we were put on this earth to fulfill.I for instance have been knowing what my calling is for quite a while.I have taken baby steps time and time again in the direction that I should travel and each time I have dropped the ball so to speak.

Why I ask myself,.I am living a truly unfulfilled life because I know where my heart and my passion is and I am not pursuing it.I had to reflect long and hard and I come to one conclusion fear.Fear of the unknown,it's something new and the emotions that come along with my calling I don't like to face and deal with.I know that my calling in life when pursued will touch many people.Sometimes the hardest thing to do is dredge up the past but it is sometimes necessary for self growth and to gain understanding.

Many of us are not fulfilling our calling because it is sometimes easier to settle for the ordinary 9-5 than to put in the mentally draining work it takes to pursue your dreams whatever they may be.I already know that I will never be fulfilled and happy until I achieve what I was put on this earth to achieve.Pursuing my dream and calling has been heavy on my mind lately.I will take an honest try at it again and pray that I stay focused and don' lose sight of the big picture.

Turn back the hands of time

I often wonder what would become of my life if I could turn back the hands of time.Would I be as wise as I am today?Would I have the children that I have now?Would I be married to my current husband?I have heard all of my life that everything happens for a reason but some situations are so complex that I can brainstorm for hours and still come up with no logical reason for why this or that happened.


I am definitely a much wiser person from the experiences that I have encountered and endured.I consider myself to be strong willed, and level headed under pressure and extreme stress.Trials and tribulations have whipped me into the person I am today.In one instance I am appreciative of the experiences because they have been great teachers but in another instance I am disgruntled over the outcome of some of my experiences.
Do you ever wish you could turn back the hands of time?
