WE ARE TOLD THAT WE ALL HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME IN
THIS LIFE. WE BELIEVE THAT, AND WE NEED TO BECAUSE IT GIVES MEANING TO OUR
ACTIONS AND KEEPS US STRIVING TOWARDS SOMETHING WONDERFUL. I KEEP THINKING I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME BUT
I'M REALIZING THAT I'M LOOKING AT IT WRONG.
I HAVE ALL THE TIME I NEED. I
JUST HAVE TO CHANGE ONE THING – MY BELIEF ABOUT THAT AMOUNT OF TIME. IT'S LIKE BELIEVING THAT YOU’VE JUST BEEN
BORN, BUT INSTEAD OF 80 YEARS HERE, YOU WILL HAVE 2, MAYBE LESS. BECAUSE OF THAT, MY ACTIONS WILL HAVE MORE
MEANING, I WILL STRIVE EVEN HARDER, I WILL LIVE MORE. ONLY CONDITION : I MUST MOVE MUCH FASTER.
LETS GET GOING.
GO TEAM PUNTIN!
ReplyDeleteI recently read a book on Buddhism and was amazed at the simplicity. I read something like "We all die. We don't know when. What do we do?" Like you say, Steph ... WE LIVE! And I want to do all that I can to enrich your living - and Claire's and David's too,
ReplyDeleteLove you so much.... Linda
Live! Live with joy and purpose. Love! Love with all your heart. Laugh! Because laughter truly is good medicine. We are all on a single team.... a team to enjoy this wonderful life with you and be solidly at your back whenever you need us. Never doubt this solidarity. Can we all get tee shirts that say "GO TEAM PUNTIN"? I love you with all my heart, precious girl, and will be right here, night and day, no matter what, with a ready smile and a warm hug. I love you dearly, Mama xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteGreat thoughts your sharing. I thought of you as amazing woman when we met. I wish we had gotten to know each other more. I am sorry I am too far away to lend much comfort. I do pray for you and yours. We all who are getting older are realizing our days are numbered. There are no guarantees they will be long on the earth. I have recently set to thinking about what will others memory of me be when I go home to be with Papa God. What legacy am I leaving. Family , Humanity,and spiritually. All very big thoughts to get yourself around. While my hands still work I have started making chrochet afghans for everyone of the kids and grand kids. My heart goes out to your challenge with Love and Blessings for you.
