Life's a Gift

Follow @pamper411 

Some events transpired this past weekend that brought back to the forefront of my mind the harsh reality that life can and will throw us scary curve-balls!  We often go about our daily lives complaining about the little inconveniences we deal with.  We tend to get so caught up in our day-to-day routines that we forget about the most important things in this life.  We get angry with friends and/or loved ones and say things we should never say.  We forget to pick up the phone just to let family know we're thinking of them. We close our eyes, hearts & minds to the people around us and miss the signs that they might need a compassionate ear.

Life can be cut short so quickly and if we fail to realize the gift we've been given each day, we could be left with a heavy burden of regret & sorrow. Take a moment each day and give thanks for the many blessings in your life. Realize that, even though you may be going through a difficult time, things truly could be much worse.  Take a moment to say "I was thinking about you and wanted to let you know I care about you". Pick up the telephone and call distant friends and family just to say hi. 

We've been given a gift with every new day. Show your gratitude by being grateful & helping others realize the good in the world. The simplest little things can make all the difference! Today is the best day of your life so far......
