"The message I wish to convey is, please, live each day as if it is your entire life. If you start something today, finish it today; tomorrow is another world. Live life positively."

thank you. I can't explain how timely and encouraging this post is to me today. I have tears in my eyes...
ReplyDeleteSTxAR, you are quite welcome. Sometimes I get promptings to post things that I do not fully understand, but I am sure that there is a reason for them.
DeleteI totally agree with this. In fact, it's kind of an overkill for me. I sometimes wonder if I have OCD because I can't move on to a second thing unless I finish the first thing. Causes me anxiety to leave things hanging. PS I laughed at your cauliflower comment! :)
ReplyDeleteRain, it is a different way of thinking for me: what would it be like if I finished, in that day (at least mentally) what I started? In a way, every day is our whole life as tomorrow is not promised us.
DeleteYes, you may have gathered I do not like cauliflower...
Don't put off until tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteIndeed Linda - and for some, they will not even have today...
