He said
"I went skydiving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fumanchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying"
And he said
"Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying"

He said
"I was finally the husband
That most of the time I wasn't
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden going fishin'
Wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
I finally read the Good Book, and I
Took a good, long, hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again

Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying
Like tomorrow was a gift
And you've got eternity
To think about
What you'd do with it
What could you do with it
What did I do with it?
What would I do with it?"

I think about that often... I try to live every. single. day. like I'm dying. When I view life as a speck in eternity, I make the most of each day. I remember what's important and forgive the silly things. I take risks. I spend time with those I care about. I view each day as a gift, another day to make a difference in the world. I'm the wife, mom and friend I've always hoped to be. I'm intense, focused, and motivated simply because I never know which day might be my last.
People often comment about my hectic life; They say I do too much. They say I need to slow down. I say, NO! Darn it! ;-) I'm living life like I'm dying! I'm soaking up everyday like it's my last. I wake up every morning thanking my Father for another day to build relationships and show love.
Have you ever lived life like you were dying?! If so, I would love to hear your story! Feel free to get in touch with me!!
