Learn to live fully

This song represents everything that I am now learning to do: enjoy each day as if it is your last day. I know it is not the best thing to think about, but when you keep this thought in mind it definitely helps you to make better choices. It helps me to not get offended when a freind does something differenly than I had expected. It teaches me to appreciate each day and be greatful for all the wonderful things I have in my life.
The song "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw

He said, “I was in my early forties  
With a lot of life before me  
When a moment came that stopped me on a dime”
”I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays  
Talking ‘bout the options and talking ‘bout sweet times”
 

I asked him when it sank in  
That this might really be the real end 
”How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?  
Man, what'd ya do?” 
 He said
 

”I went skydiving 
I went rocky mountain climbing 
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu  
And I loved deeper  
And I spoke sweeter  
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'”
And he said, “Someday I hope you get the chance  
To live like you were dyin'”
 
He said, “I was finally the husband  

That most the time I wasn't  
And I became a friend, a friend would like to have”
 

”And all of a sudden goin' fishin'  
Wasn't such an imposition  
And I went three times that year I lost my dad  
Well I, I finally read the good book 
And I took a good long hard look 
At what I'd do if I could do it all again And then”
 
”I went skydiving

I went rocky mountain climbing  
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu 
And I loved deeper  
And I spoke sweeter 
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'”
And he said, 
“Someday I hope you get the chance  
To live like you were dyin'”

Like tomorrow was a gift  

And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it  
What did you do with it?  
What did I do with it?  
What would I do with it?
 
Skydiving

I went rocky mountain climbing  
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu 
And I loved deeper  
And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'
And he said, 
“Someday I hope you get the chance  
To live like you were dyin'”


So the advice of the day is: live each day to the fullest!!
