Living Life: A Great Reminder for All of Us

So there I was, sitting in my office one morning, when Mic Johnson (you know the Blue Gurus guy) showed up for our monthly blog meeting. We meet every month to discuss and brainstorm ideas for future blog posts.

Mic came into my office and we started chit-chatting about this and that. While we were talking, he kept staring over my head at something on my wall.

To be honest, I thought it was rather odd he wasn’t looking at me while I was talking to him.

He said “Hey, where did you get that “Living Life” letter you have hanging on your board there?

I told him it was given to me by a funeral director when my stepfather passed away. He stated that he had one very similar called Attitudes that he read at his own father’s funeral.

Our discussion continued and we both thought it was so cool how we hold onto these quotes and how much they mean to us.

Living Life is something that I really cherish. Life truly is a journey and not a race. Now, more than ever, it’s important to say “Thank you”, “I love you” and “Great job” to at least one person each and every day.

I recently took a wonderful vacation with my husband and some friends. One of the best moments was sitting around playing cards and laughing so hard it hurt.

Laugh often and appreciate the beauty that is all around you.

Appreciate all the little things.

Forgive. It truly frees your soul.

Having “Living Life” hang in my office is a great reminder that I’ve been truly blessed with all the people in my life. I owe it to myself and everyone around me to sincerely live for today and enjoy each and every moment.

I hope it inspires you as much as it does me!
