I was adding to my stash tonight and came across Tim McGraws song "Live Like You Were Dying"...and it reminded me of something i had forgotten. We get so caught up in going thru life we forget to appreciate it. A few years ago I too heard the words no one wants to hear "cancer"...and suddenly u realize you are mortal afterall...and you dont know how many tomorrows you have left. I had just divorced after a 19yr marriage and work had become my life. I made all the bargins with God that people do when theyre in that situation...if only u let me live...things will be different. I will be a better person...more loving...more giving...more forgiving...more understanding...i wont take the small things for granted...nor the people i love. Ive tried hard to live up to those promises...but realize now that i still take the small things for granted...the beauty of a sunset...the brillance of stars...the sweet smile of a child...the smell of the air after a rain...as the song says...if i had one wish for you...it would be for u to live like u were dying...appreciating and enjoying each second of your life to the fullest and the people who love you :) No regrets is the best life you can have...
