This was supposed to be a facebook status, but I started typing, and realized this would be better written as a blog. . .

"You never know when you're gonna go...of course, we hope we have a full day, at least!" - SL
Living life to the fullest, each and every day, guarantees that when we do go, we will have left this world with love. - me
"Sometimes I feel like people are too serious. Life is too short to always be serious; if I am gonna have one last day on Earth, I am gonna want to just play and have fun!" BjG
I started this day, going outside of my comfort zone by wearing a bombin' funky outfit. I wanted to see what it felt like to literally wear my personality. I felt colorful, so I chose to be colorful. I felt different, so I felt like looking different. Today I chose to live, act, be, dress....the way that I wanted, without worrying about what anyone else would think, say, do. The theme of dress followed me to my yoga matt, where the atmosphere was playful and goofy...annnnd sweaty (of course). The music made it even better. God (or the Universe if that's what you want to call God), brought me a day of play, because I asked for that with where I focused my attention and with what my intention would be.
What I learned today is that it is of great importance to be here, in the "now" moment...to be light hearted...to have fun...to be there for others...to express gratitude to one another and to thank God for giving us this moment...this breath...this heart beat...
It is so good for us to simply be present and to not let past let-downs, mistakes, or regrets interfere with our "now". Our "now" is new...it is always new. We can always wipe our slate clean and start all over again, no matter what. No one can tell us that we can't...only we can do that.(I can't take full credit for everything I write here, because I receive much of my wisdom from my wiser friends.) I am so grateful that I can share with and learn from the people in my life. I have so many dear ones that have done more than they know, just by being listeners, advice givers, and mainly just by being present in my "now".
The two quotes above are from today, and from two very wise and wonderful women at two different times...but read them together, and there you have it...one really great piece of advice from two very beautiful souls.
