Ten years. A celebration when good things happen, no so much when the celebration is sad.
Every year I try to figure out what to post.
Every year, I feel a need to remind you all of how important it is to not "miss it"
(Reference, the film "Hook" 13.5 minutes in)
When I get feeling down, usually about once a day, although I am admittedly doing better, I always think of Jake and Anne, "Up there somewhere" looking down at me somehow telling me, expecting me to enjoy the life I have been allowed to keep. Reminding me that they tried to keep theirs to their very last breath
Life is precarious, we are just flesh and blood and we break. Accidents happen, things change in an instant. Don't waste your life. Do not forget about the loved ones, friends and pets that love you and want to be a part of your life. MAKE YOUR LIFE.. DON'T WASTE IT!
Last night, I watched a clip that moved me and started me writing this post.
I would ask you to watch it. It's only 5 minutes long. Watch it, think about it.
I went back and forth about whether or not to post this on the blog, whether it was relevant or appropriate and I almost did not, but I kept feeling the push as I always do on these days. Maybe the push was from Jake and Anne. I don't know, but I think the message reinforces what I am talking about.
Life is a library. We only borrow the stuff we think we own. All we really keep are the friendships, relationships and our own personal experiences. The legacy we leave are the lessons we have taught others, to live a happy life and appreciate each moment while we have it.
