Throw caution into the wind.....Live!!!!

"Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear.

 The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all." 

~ The Princess Diaries (2001)

There is one thing I know for sure...

we all will die.

It is a statement, more than a question,

we don't like to think about it,

dwell on it,

some

won't even admit it out loud,

but it is true.

At some point,

either expected or unexpected,

the

Life force will leave us

and

we will exhale

our last breath,

and that thing,
the Mystery we can't explain..
departs,
goes back to where it came

and

the only thing left is

carbon and hydrogen and nitrogen...

which eventually

turns

into

dust.

we came from it

we return to it.

The question one should ask oneself

is

this:

Have I lived?

we say...

tomorrow..

in a minute..

next time...

we put off becoming all that we can

until it all is right...

until the kids grow up...

until ...

until..

until...

we put it off

until

one day

it might be too late

to

do that thing..

become that person...

offer your gift...

I wonder...

if a person who has already had their life force

leave them

I wonder how they might live 

if they could come back for just one day....
I wonder..

what kind of lesson they might teach us?

Life

it is precious...

this moment...

right now..

right here...

it is all we know we're gonna get...

so breathe in the gift of Life...

cherish it...

let it energize your body...

and

Live..

sing

dance

hug

laugh

love

these things

these joyful things..

they are the things that really matter...

so

..

throw it all to the wind...

and

Live!!!

hugs and blessings
