As in the end of August?
Wait a minute.
Didn’t I just plant my annuals?
Wasn’t it just the longest day of the
year?
Didn’t I just blog about fireworks on the
Fourth of July?
But what else did I do?
Ever since I moved to Utah, I vowed I
would live in the present—be present
to all around me. But, considering how quickly time flies, and not seeing much
to show for its passing, I’m wondering if I might be flittering away my life,
not filling my moments with memories as I should.
I used to have a tagline with my
emails:
“What I do today is
important
because I am paying a day of my life for it.
What I accomplish
must be worthwhile
because the price is high.”
Author Unknown
I think Author Unknown is one of the
most profound human beings that ever lived. This person has
made me realize that minutes and
seconds are precious. Instead of spending time watching television,how about a meaningful conversation with someone? A book in hand is worth more than playing two
video games. Pen a thank-you note, rather than an email.
I have to re-commit to make each day
meaningful in some way. What must I do before I lay my head on my pillow that
will help me feel fulfilled?
Family, friends, having meaningful conversations, appreciating nature, art, writing, reading, giving service, doing the best you can, leaving a place better than you found it. . .
What is important to you?
What is worth paying a day of your life
for?
