Sixty seconds in a minute...sixty minutes in an hour...twenty-four hours in a day...365 days in a year. Oh, how time continues to pass much too quickly. I learned long ago that each moment matters. Each breath is a gift. Not one heartbeat should ever be taken for granted.
Yet there is something else I need to realize each moment. Although life often seems overwhelming with cares, responsibilities and uncertainties, I am learning to not only live gratefully but to also live passionately.
As I face each moment, I choose to embrace it with more than mere survival. I choose to celebrate it...cherish it...value it...and live it...fully. If I am working, give it my best. If I am traveling, make the most of each sight, sound and second. If I am singing, sing from my heart and not just my vocal cords. If I am playing piano, play with all my being and not just my hands. If I am caring for my family, friends and fur babies, see it as an opportunity to love and nurture. If I am cleaning house, turn up the music and enjoy the blessings of a home and health to do so. If I am praying, offer it with full reverence, confidence and peace knowing that I am never alone. If I am facing changes, do it with hope and trust that life is full of memories and possibilities.
Live passionately...with purpose, with gratitude, with hope...with joy...with excitement...and with peace. Life is a gift...a precious, incredible, amazing reason to live with enthusiasm, wonderment and assurance to celebrate and appreciate the beauty of this very moment...now...and always.💜~thl
