Being grateful at all times

Being grateful at all times

As I sit on this deck, in my hometown of upstate New York, drinking my coffee, looking into the forest of huge green pine trees and the mountains. I am  listening to the birds and crickets and smelling the fresh mountain air, I can not help to be grateful for my life and all who are in it.

I no longer take anything for granted, I tell people I love them, how proud I am of them, how they touched my life, I give praise often, I help out friends in need, I travel alot because you never know when your time will come.

I live my life large and to the fullest because I know how precious life is, I have lost too many loved ones too early, full of what if's.

No I will not be one of them, there will be no what if's, only what is, what was and wtf! I can't believe I did that! Yes, when my time comes I will be screeching into the grave yelling "What a ride!!"
I would have done everything I've wanted to, in a big way!

But in all of this, I am grateful for my friends and family, for making new friends and keeping in touch with old friends. Life is about the connections you make with others,  ( and not the kind that are going to do sonething for you)  its about how they touch your heart and you touch theirs.

I live my life in a constant state of gratefulness, I stop to smell the roses, I am present in every moment, I take time out to enjoy the small things and to give thanks for it all.

So today my friends, be present in your life, be grateful, live in the moment, you only get one chance...use it well, have no regrets and no what if's, this is your ride, go out screaming!

"Be the change you want to see"
