Life is a Gift!

I am sure most have heard the saying that “life is a gift so live in the present”……I do believe that these are good words to live by. I recently found out that a friend’s husband passed away. I don’t know all the details but what I do know is that it was unexpected news which got me to thinking……

How often do we get so caught up in the day in and day out grind that we forget to just cherish who we are and our loved ones? Even if we don’t mean to do it intentionally it still happens. Why does it take hearing about an untimely death or any type of devastation to make us put things in perspective and check our priorities??

I recently got back in touch with a sibling that I had not seen in about 5 years and had not spoken to in at least two years! I started thinking about how I would hate for the next time we see each other occur because of a funeral or some other terrible situation. I decided that all those things that happened in the past is where I should leave them because clearly none of us are perfect! I admit that we are not talking on the phone everyday but we are emailing each other at least once a week and that is far better than what had been occurring, which was no communication at all.

So I challenge everyone that reads this blog today to reach out to someone that you haven’t seen or spoken with in a long time. A family member or friend; even if you just drop them an email or a text to say you are thinking about them…..It’s time we begin to Cherish Life because it goes by quickly and no one wants to have regrets!
