Enjoying every day I have
Enjoying every day I have
So if you know me or follow me, you know that in the last 11 years since I've been divorced I have been living my life to the fullest.
I live each day as if it is my last day because, really, we don't know if it is or not. This fact was brought home by covid when we lost so many people, so fast. So I will leave the dishes in the sink, or I will leave my list of things to do if a friend comes into town and wants to spend time with me. Things like that are no longer important to me. The dishes will be there long after I'm dead and who really cares, actually.
There was a point in my life where I needed everything to be perfect in my home. My children and my lifestyle had to be perfect. This was the image that my ex-husband wanted the world to see. Yet I was dying inside, I was miserable and unhappy. So what, that I had the "so called" perfect life, when you're miserable, none of that matters.
What matters is connection. Connection to your friends, to yourself, and to what brings you joy in your life. That is the most important thing. Spending time with the people that I love and making memories that will last a lifetime, that is what is really important.
What people will say or what people will think doesn't matter because they are not paying your bills and believe it or not, they are not going to the grave with you when you're gone. So who cares what people have to say about you anyway? Live your life for you.
In the end, what will really matter is what kind of person you are. Did you bring joy to others? Were you kind and compassionate? Do your family and friends know how much they mean to you?
Do you take the time out to show them? Honestly, the truth of the matter is that we all give time to what's important in our lives.
Trust and believe that when you're on your deathbed, you are not gonna be wishing for more money or that you should have worked harder or longer. You'd be wishing for more time with the people you love, doing the things that you loved to do.
So today, my friends, I am here to tell you that you have one life. Live it to the fullest, and make the most out of it because we all are not promised tomorrow, so that's why I am enjoying every day I have.
