Live Today Like it was your Last Day

Good Morning Ladies!

I hope you are doing well today! :-) I'm better then good today and just feeling blessed to have opened my eyes this morning. Yesterday was going GREAT, (I looked great in my cute red dress, and was feeling so optimistic and upbeat) until right before lunch. One of the therapist at my job gave me the news that one of our patients passed away. Dolls it hit me harder then I thought it would. After lunch my boss told me that she was in a better place, I guess my eyes told on how I spent lunch. My love and prayers go to her mother who is the epitome of strength having watch her daughter suffer for almost 2yrs through cancer. T.C., I thank God for allowing me to have known you, I'll always remember your smile.

I'm truly coming to understand those words in the title of this post over the past 9 months. If you're closest family member, friend, co-worker, etc. was to report to Heaven tomorrow what regrets would you have ? Would you regret not getting to know them on a deeper level? Would you regret missing their last birthday? Would you regret missing their last call? Would you regret those angry words you spoke to them the last time you saw them?When you stand by their casket and weep for them or for you ?

Today before you lay your head on your pillow I want you call or email that person you lost contact with. Make-up with those who you've had a fight with. (Yes, Even if its their fault.) Forgiveness is not just for the other person its for you too. It frees us of the weight and burden of anger and is the first step to healing. How can we constantly ask God to forgive us our transgressions yet we won't do the same for those that hurt us? God can forgive that nonsense you did last night when you thought no one was looking, but you think you're above that and you don't have to??!! God forgave those that hurt His most precious gift to us (Jesus), but you can't forgive Lisa for her mistakes? Get your ish together!!

Not everyone will want to forgive you in return or let those things that were between you go, don't let that stop you. Forgive them anyway and move on, even if they won't let it go themselves yet. Some people need to be loved from a far until they come around.

Once you've forgiven and reconnected I want you to start to really live. Stop existing and LIVE!! Turn off the TV and go run, play with your kids (or nieces & nephews), volunteer, go meet the person you've reconnected with for lunch, dinner, coffee, a walk. Do something to add to your life & the lives of others. Plan a trip or just hop a train to somewhere nearby & explore. JUST GO! LIVE, LAUGH,(FORGIVE), LOVE DAMN IT!

You may not get to do it tomorrow. My mom always says, " Tomorrow is not promised to anyone." If your tomorrow doesn't come what memories will you leave behind for those whom you love? I want to leave behind memories of love, positivity, fun, LOL, and some SMH moments. What about you? Now turn off the computer and go Live like today was your last day and Thank God for one more day.
