Make today count

Life is continuously changing, Although at the time it doesn’t feel like it. Life is always moving. One moment we’re young kids ourselves, Living with our parents, going to school, Trying to find out who we are in this world. And just like that, We are adults ourselves, Helping our own kids find their way in life, And still trying to figure out exactly what we want in this life. We know time passes quickly, Yet we can often treat life like we have all the time in the world. So we bugger around worrying about dumb shit, Like, what we look like, If only we had x,y,z, What would (insert name) think, Putting off what we dream about for another day, Another week, Another year. This year I have already attended three funerals, And it blows me away and gives me yet another Slap in the face, To just get on with it and live life to the fullest. This can look different for everyone, Some will want to pack as much as possible in, Others will want to slow it down and enjoy the little things. Good thing is, it doesn’t matter, you decide whats right for you. What I love about funerals are all the stories shared & the photos created of ones lifetime. So make this life that you’re so damn lucky to have, A damn good one. Work towards going to the places you dream of. Enjoy the food you eat and share it with the ones you love. Give to those who deserve & receive when you deserve. Look at yourself with kind eyes & speak to yourself with loving words. Sing & dance whenever you like. Laugh then listen for the ripple effect. Feel the ground beneath your toes. Tell your family you love them. Make memories, create stories, exist in photos Don’t let the days slip away, Make today count.
