You only live once

I realized something recently. And that is the fact that so little of us realize that our time is

something that is so precious, and once it's wasted, we can never get it back. As busy as our lives get, we so seldom think of all that we have and live the "I'll get to it later" kind of way. But what

if we aren't that lucky to have a later? We find ourselves looking back saying "If only I had". There is so much we take for granted.... So much we put off, and the truth is, we shouldn't. In the

past 6 years, I have been married, given life, experienced pain, joy, happiness, sadness, and I am now currently in the process of a divorce. But even through all of that, it's only been within the

last year that I truly started living... and it was when things started to fall apart for me that I came to the conclusion, You only live once. Therefore, If in fact, I'm only given this one life, I

might as well enjoy it while I can... You can't just go through the motions. If you're unhappy with your situation, CHANGE IT! Never settle for jello when you can have creme'brule'... In other

words, don't settle for something mediocre when you know you can have the best. Go out and buy those fabulous shoes you've been eying through the window. You know they'll look better on

you than they ever could on a shoe stand.... When money becomes an issue, don't try to hold on to it too tight in the thoughts that you might need it later for something more important, spend

it, and trust that God will provide things for you exactly when you need him to. Walk by faith, and live life you don't have a tomorrow... Tell someone you're sorry for something that may have

happened ages ago. Let things go, don't hold grudges, and learn to forgive, no matter the difficulty. If there is something you feel like you need to tell someone, but you're so afraid of

what might be said.. Do it anyway. Even if you get shot down, laughed at, or looked at like you're absolutely nuts. At least you'll know you said what you had to say. Let people know how you feel

when you feel that way, otherwise, you may not get another chance. and finally, stop putting off till tomorrow that which you can take care of today..... And burn that $ 20 candle you have

sitting on you coffee table looking beautiful! Just live. And when you do, LIVE Great, LOVE hard, LAUGH Alot, CRY when you have to, And FORGIVE Always! We're living on borrowed time,

and we never know when a day might be our last... Therefore live like every day is... And when you look back, you'll never have regrets or what if's... Start now, it's never too late to begin livin!
