I think we all need to live our life as if it's our last chance. When life changes drastically with no warning, we grieve with 'what ifs' and 'regrets'.
We wish we would have taken the extra few minutes out of our life to spend with the ones who left too soon. We blame ourselves for what we didn't do, but easily could have.
What if we lived by doing the 'what ifs' and 'no regrets'.
If we lived each day as a blessing with the ones around us, as if it were the last day, we would be much more grateful for that moment.
So... throw that dang stick for your dog. Answer your phone when your Mom or Dad calls. Put your phone down when you are out with your friends.
We get so caught up in the moment, we forget to actually live in the moment.
It takes life changing drastically for too many of us to realize what we had in front of us all along.
The dog that is no longer there to bring you a stick. Wishing your phone would ring and the Caller ID would show Mom or Dad, hoping it was just a dream. The empty chair at your next outing with your friends.
Give your attention to those who are in front of you...in the moment...because you never know when it will be the last...
Instead of going to bed on time tonight, I soaked up all the cuddles from my dog. He chose to climb up into my lap. I chose him from a huge litter of pups. It wasn't his choice, it was mine. And I will never let him think he's not worth my time.
Throw the damn stick.
