Life is Too Short

I got this flyer in the mail the other day. I laughed and threw it away. All weekend I kept thinking about it and about what other things in life are too short to do. I agree that life is too short to clean the house, but really it has to be done.

I have experienced several events in my life that have made me realize that life is short and to enjoy it while we have it. I am trying to be better about making each moment last and not putting off things for later.

Life is Too Short:
to not go to a movie during the day and eat a bucket of popcorn
to not go on vacation everytime the opportunity arises
to not play a game with Jacob when he asks
to not go on long walks
to not eat a piece of delicious chocolate cake a friend brings over
to not read a good book in the afternoon (preferrably in my hammock)
to not stay after a Jazz game with Brandon to get player autographs
to not eat good food (hmmmmmm food keeps coming up)
to not read Jonah as many books as he wants
to not have a long conversation with a friend
to not be there when someone needs me
to not rub Bryan's shoulders when he asks
to not sing along whenever a song is playing
to worry about what might happen

The list could go on and on. Today I am going to take advantage of every opportunity that arises. O.K. maybe I am dreaming, but I will at least try to enjoy the journey!
