Life. Do you live it and risk it ending sooner, do you live it to your idea of living and make it all count. Do you play it safe and in the end realize that you never lived at all but merely existed.
Living for the moment does not mean you go around hurting people nor does it mean being overly reckless to others, yourself, or your body. It means you try your best not to let your afflictions and sorrows get the best of you.
Living means taking it all in stride and not letting the little things get to you but sparing the time to appreciate all the little things you can that make you smile. Its about having enough respect for yourself to realize what you need and want out of life and going for it.
It means not taking negativity or drama that others or yourself bring to you. It means ignoring what people think about what makes you happy, unless they get genuinely concerned for your health and well being then listen to them and honestly think if this really is the life you want and the path you wish to travel down. Just in case we don't get another chance.
It means doing random acts of kindness no matter how small because even something you deem small and unsubstantial could make someones day. This life and this world is not just about you.
Living is hard. It's meant to be. If it was easy all the time we would never learn nor appreciate anything. Not greatness, not love, not family, not the fragile thread that binds us all inexplicably together in an intricate web. That would be disastrous. What a pathetic life we would live If we could not appreciate Happiness, Joy, Sorrow,Beauty, Patience. What a pathetic life we would live. The easy road is mere existence .
This has been thoughts from under the maple tree which so beautifully graces us with her presence in the back yard.
