What kind of messes would we all leave behind if this were the last day??? Do we have all of our personal 'business stuff'' in order? Is there very much left to do that we had wished we had done? Did we leave the planet any better off than before we inhabited it? But most of all, have we told the people we love and care about that we DO love them and care about them? I guess the measure of your life is measured by how your leaving will affect those you leave behind. There are some people who won't be missed very much and that is very sad. It is a terrible thing to waste anything.....but your whole life??? Tsk, tsk, tsk.....
Have we had wishes and dreams about something but never got around to doing them? We see people all the time doing extraordinary things and think, "WOW, that's neat....wish I would have done that!" Do we rue the choices we have made? That is sad as well. Because we are in charge of our choices. We can put blame on circumstances in our lives for the reason we didn't go for it....but that is just a crutch. I have found that everyone does just exactly what they want to do, if they sincerely want to do it. People claim they don't have time for this or for that.....but they make time to do what they truly want to do......
If this was Gommys' last day I would be sad but I can honestly say my life has been pretty blessed..........save for the losses of loved ones. God (the Universe) has always taken care of me in most areas of my life and I haven't ever 'wanted' for much......and I have always felt loved.....and to me, that is what is most important!
If this were the last day....I bet some of those things that are making you mad or upset today wouldn't seem so important....now would they??? When you really get down to it....there isn't very much that is going on that should ruin your last day or any day for that matter. It is ALL small stuff. Especially if you won't be here tomorrow......right???
So, anyone who is reading this...............take stock in where you are, where you have been and where you wish you will be. You have the choice. You also have the ability to tell those you love that you do love them. You will be doing them a big favor by doing it while you are still around. Happy Birthday to Gommy......Hope I get some more.....tee,hee ((*>*))
