Take a Deep Breath and Dive in.

In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away

     How many times in life have really taken your breath away? Not the bad things, but the good things? Things that make  your life worth living? Those are the only things that are worth having. You may never be remembered by many people but you will be remembered by what you did and how you loved and cared for others.

    There are few things in this life that make it pleasant. A flower coming through a spring snow, A babies toothless grin, a child's uninhibited giggle, a tear that slides down your cheek at your child's wedding a cancer survivor that was thought would never survive the first treatment. The true battle of the human spirit is one of great determination and the love of life and what you do with it and how you live it.

    God never assured us of our next breath. I speak not just to someone else but also to myself. The small things of the challenge of everyday can hinder the wonderful things that make our life compete. Life is short and has no time for the pain of lame, stupid stuff that causes us aggravation and pain unnecessarily. I know, I do it most days of my life. You miss out on  wonderful blessings because someone else has succeeded in their attempt to upset and cause havoc on your life.
