Experience Everyday - While it Lasts

Today I'm going to spend the afternoon with a friend and her husband. I tend to spend a good amount of time visiting friends, but today is different. My friend's husband is dying of cancer, and he is not expected to last the weekend. Not a very uplifting day to be writing about how to enjoy one's life. But in fact it is.

You see, 3 months ago Jay was healthy and fit. He was always busy working out in their lush yard, growing flowers for church on Sunday, making furniture for his lovely home, or playing his saxophone. So you see, today writing about enjoying your life is particularly poignant. We never know when we or a loved one will be called home. And for that reason, it is so important to treat each day like a precious jewel.

It is so easy to become complacent in life, to take each day for granted and to forget that every moment that passes is gone forever. Make a decision today to make each moment count. Tomorrow will come soon enough.
