Living Like You're Dying
Kris Allen has a new song out and it reminded me that I need to live like I'm dying. I need to treasure each moment of my life instead of just trying to get through the day. Some days that's difficult advice to put into action. What do I do when I feel like dying?
I need to notice the little things in life that make it worth living. Seeing my daughters smile. Hugging my husband. Seeing the sunshine shining through my windows. Getting up and taking a walk to smell the air. Looking in the mirror and liking what I see.
My life is good. I have a good family. I need to remember that when times are tough. Life can be a battle, but I can win if I have a winning attitude. I just need to remember to live like I'm dying and I can get through anything.
