I thought I would give a new feel to my blog for a few days and change up what you are listening to. This song was brought to my attention by Tim awhile back but the words are something that is relevant for the present.
I started thinking about what I have done and am doing with my life after hearing about all of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath. Am I really doing what I want with my life? Have I accomplished at least some of the things I hope to accomplish in my lifetime? Am I happy with the person that I am?
100 years seems like a long time, and sadly to say, many of us will not live that long. So, what will I or what will you do with the days that you have been given? Will we sit and wallow and always say that "there is always tomorrow" to accomplish our goals? Will we put off saying "I love you" or making up with a long-lost friend because "there is always tomorrow"? What if Tomorrow never comes? Each and every day is another blessing from God- a day He has given to us to make and do with it what we please. At any given time, that privelage could be taken away. What kind of legacy will we leave?
I am challenging myself to try and live every day as if it were the last. The world is a scary place and I don't want to look back and say "what if" because I always believed that there was another day ahead. I want to be satisfied and know that I did all I could to make my and those I love, lives meaningful. I want to be able to say I may of only had x number of years but no matter, I am proud of what those years held.

Jen, our family absolutely LOVES that song! We bought the CD a few months back and we listen to it over and over. It seems depending on your mood, it evokes different emotions. We have dubbed it Xander's favorite because as soon as it is over he whimpers until we start it over again and then he quiets down and listens with a peaceful look on his face. I think he loves the piano riff at the beginning and end :) I am glad to know others are enjoying the meaning behind Five for Fighting's words! Nice hearing from you :)
