Everyone, please feel free to skip over this. Just spitting out thoughts. And No, I don't mean anything or anybody inparticular in regards to this post.
I am in a 'mood' right now. Not a bad mood or anything. I guess a contemplative mood would be the right term. Why do we always want what we don't have? What makes us think that the grass just might be greener on the other side. We know deep down that its not, but that doesn't keep you from wondering. I'm pretty sure that those people on the 'greener' side all think our side might be better. Maybe it comes down to self esteem? Maybe we feel like we don't deserve what we have so we pick and poke at it trying to fix it, but its not broken. Eventually all the poking is probably going to do more damage than good. Then what we have is gone. Now what? Now we want it back. Go figure. The old saying goes that you never know what you had until its gone. True?
Maybe living every day like its your last would help? Imagine every day that everything you love will be gone tomorrow. What do you want those closest to you to know? Or maybe imagine that YOU will be whats gone tomorrow. How do you want those left behind to remember you? What would you say to them before you said goodnight? I think the thought is that it makes us put ourselves IN the moment, to think about what you have now, because it won't always be there.
Such an easy concept, but unbelievably hard to do. Try reminding yourselve everyday how important your life and those in it are to you and then spend the day showing it. See if it makes a difference in your life and the lives of those around you.
Hmm....Guess I am done.
