Yesterday I wrote about beginnings; today I learned about a dear friend's ending. With a heavy heart I write so if my thoughts seem jumbled, anxious or sad, please understand.
With each passing life I am again and again reminded that life won't wait for you to be ready to be in it. It won't make sure everything is lined up perfectly before you're ready to follow your dreams and it won't slow down for you. Life is now, this very moment, this very breath you are taking. Life is much of what you make it but one thing for sure is, it's never long enough; life is too short. Life is too short to put on hold. Life's too short to hold grudges, to be angry, to be held back, to be put on the back burner...life is too short to just sit idly by and coast through it without taking in all that you can from what it has to offer. Life is precious. Each and every moment is a blessing, a gift. Life isn't to be taken for granted. As I remember all the conversations and all the fun outings I spent with my friend, I try so hard to keep it all together and to never forget those times. I will always love and cherish her. I won't let the fact that we drifted because I moved away ever come between the friendship love we shared. I honor the person she was. She was warm, loving, caring, passionate and strong and I dedicate this post, these words, to Michele. I'm not there yet, I do tend to put off my dreams for the convenience of others but I'm coming closer to realizing and trusting that dreams and TODAY is all we have. Don't ever put off until tomorrow what you can and want to do today because there may never be a tomorrow.
