Live and love your life!

Happy very late Saturday night (or very early Sunday morning) my Happy clan!  I hope everyone has a fantastic day today!  Mine was absolutely splendid!!  I went to a baby shower for my very dear friend, I got to spend lots of time with my boys and, even though it's super late (and I have to work in the morning), I got to chill with my sister and sister-in-law for a bit because I brought them home from the Tim McGraw concert.  Definitely a wonderful day!!!  

It's such an awesome feeling enjoying every moment life throws at you, even though there's bad stuff that tries to get in the way.  I love that I've learned to almost completely ignore the bad and just enjoy every great moment that I've been blessed with!  It's not always easy but it gets easier every day... I hope that you all are starting to view life the same way too!  I know it's a struggle, though, which is why I keep writing these happies!  And today is no different!!  

Today's Happy I'm going to share with you the lyrics to a song by Tim McGraw.  It's such a powerful song that solidifies the importance of how short life is and that you should enjoy and love every second that you are alive!  The song is "Live Like You Were Dying"...

He said: "I was in my early forties,

"With a lot of life before me,

"An' a moment came that stopped me on a dime.

"I spent most of the next days,

"Looking at the x-rays,

"An' talking 'bout the options an' talkin’ ‘bout sweet time."

I asked him when it sank in,

That this might really be the real end?

How’s it hit you when you get that kind of news?

Man whatcha do? 

An' he said: "I went sky diving, 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 denying."

An' he said: "Some day, 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.

"An' 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 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 sky diving, 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 denying."

An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,

"To live like you were dyin'." 

Like tomorrow was a gift,

And you got eternity,

To think about what you’d do with it.

An' what did you do with it?

An' what can I do with it?

An' what would I do with it? 

"Sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,

"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.

"And then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,

"And I watched Blue Eagle as it was flyin'."

An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,

"To live like you were dyin'." 

Now, get some sleep and when you get up - LIVE!!  And enjoy your life - stop holding grudges.  Stop letting silly things upset you.  Stop judging others!  Live and love your life!!!!!  And until later, keep smiling and spreading that love!!

Peace, Love and Happiness!
