I have come to realize, through my dad's battle with Alzheimer's Disease, that memories are so very fragile. They are the source of proof that our existence has mattered on this Earth. Without them we are held captive by a moment of nothingness, darkness, and sadness. The people we know who hold a dear place in our hearts begin to fade away as we forget. Don't forget. Hold on to them, keep photos, be sentimental, cherish keepsakes, make videos, and be intentional about creating an unforgettable atmosphere that gives birth to laughter. Live.
We never get a second chance to live any moment. Absorb it, breathe it, cherish it. One chance.
We spend our lives wishing our time away. We cannot wait for the next best thing, for things to "get better" or the next stage in life. What if the very best of our lives is right this second? Talk about unhappiness; reflecting on your life and seeing all the joy you have missed... all the time you could have rejoiced but instead you felt self-pity. Maybe you could have won a small victory but instead you chose defeat. When you look into your horizon, I pray there are no regrets. Don't let anything steal your joy. Be purposeful, be intentional, be courageous. Love fearlessly.
