Beyond Rollercoasters...

You often hear the saying: Life is like a rollercoaster... Well I have realized life is an experience that goes way beyond rollercoasters. Maybe life is more like a tornado. Sometimes things come and seem to destroy everything. Othertimes you seem the storm coming and it jumps right over you leaving everything in tact. Maybe, there are times in life when we are supposed to get rid of everything to make room for the abundance of blessings coming our way. Othertimes, we are supposed to be still and pay attention. Who knows. What I do know is that today is full of sunshine and I will make the most of the beautiful weather and the blessings this day holds.

Days go by...

Days go by so quickly. Soon the days turn into weeks, the weeks into months and the months into years. You stand there looking back wondering what you have done with all of the time. Why you are only in the place you are and not where you thought you would be. There comes a time when you realize that life has a time limit. It doesn’t last forever. You begin to judge your choices, become aware of your regrets. You begin to look at your future in a different light. Your experiences turn into lessons. You begin to cherish the moments, the hours. The time spent with your loved ones. The time you wish you would have spent with them when they are gone. You look for the meaning, the purpose in it all. You try to figure out why nothing has gone as planned. You become stronger, smarter. You make better plans, while still living for each day. You don’t want to waste anymore time, you have wasted enough as it is. Some people get caught up in the regrets, the mistakes. Others learn from them and move on. In the end there are only two categories: those who look back at a life of regrets and beg for more time and those who look back on a life fulfilled. Which will you be?
