I have read this before, but never appreciated it until November. I lost my husband, Beau, to pancreatic cancer. We only had one month together after he was diagnosed and everyday I wish we had one more day- just one more day!

And remember, time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is a mystery.

Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

Lovely thoughts. It's too bad that there will be people who read this without realizing how they themselves callously and thoughtlessly treat people in their lives.

I would love to live for the moment and do everything I want to do now instead of ten years from now - but the question is? Who will pay all house payments, electric and insurance bills, medical bills, taxes, etc etc if I decide to stop and enjoy life!

11:37. Interesting point of view so I offer this. Try seeing every day, every minute as a gift with an optimist eye. Each task, each responsibility that we are required to do gives us character. Life is beautiful.

Turn it over to GOD's will. There you will find an unstoppable inner peace that will give you the courage and strength to continue on the stress wheel. Divine peace is a true gift from GOD but you have to open yourself to it.
Life IS beautiful.
