Every single day, we have the opportunity, as we open our eyes and realize that we are alive and breathing on our own, able to see, to hear, to feel, to smell, and to move, that we are indeed the recipients of another gift of a day in life. If you read this and feel like it is silly or obvious or too deep or emotional, I invite you to spend an hour at the hospital in someone’s room, to drift by the ICU waiting room, or to stop by a hospice facility. There are people there who would love to read this note and feel this lucky — lucky to be feeling cavalier about the simple things in life.
I have seemingly put the days of being cavalier about my life behind me. Time is short, each breath is precious beyond actual belief……the deal is to embrace it, every single bit of it. The question is — how will you spend your capital in this life today?
Build upon your inner strength, invest in your self determination, live, love, and laugh…..tell those you care about that you love them.
