Oh wait....that's me...super glued to my technology. Are you?
Today was a hard day for me, it was one that I found out a couple of different things that really made me think about life.
Here's a picture that really makes this real for me...I took it in St. Francisville while visiting a friend:
If you can't read it, it says, "His Courage was Unbelievable...."This stood out at me - of all the graves I'd seen that day (after taking pictures of a old church) - I was stunned...it took me by surprise...my thought was...what did he do? what difference did he make? He was only 20 - how did he do so much in 20 years? Why couldn't I have done 'unbelievable things' in 20 years?
This is definitely the theme of today - many things come and go. We can buy cars, houses, 'stuff', and it'll just get sold, damaged, or left behind. We can have a fancy phone, no phone....and it won't matter. We can have family or ignore our family...and in the end what will make it better?
Live your life to the fullest - because we don't know what's ahead. Sometimes that scares me - I know it scares everyone.
We can either be depressed....or we can LIVE.
Did you hear that? Live.
We spend so much time doing other things...worrying...watching others...not living....procrastinating....not living...having meaningless jobs...
That when we finally are at the end of our lives - we haven't lived.
Life isn't about the amount of friends you have on Facebook, the Tweets that are retweeted, or the Likes that you have -
It's about having meaningful relationships, having fun, growing, and encouraging others.
Live life today!
Love always,
Lida
