Life

Some things are passed down from the wisest people I know, my late grandmother and my dad. The rest is from yours truly, lessons I learned the hard way. I wish I paid attention when I was younger. This is a very short version of a few lessons learned.


Holley's advice for life. (I may add a part 2.. We shall see)

We live our lives as the next moment is promised to us, taking advantage of each and every moment.  

Think about the moment you are taking to read this, (thanks by the way) after you've read it, the moments it took to read it are gone. You may think it was a waste of time, but it's your time and you made a choice to read this entry, using your daily allotted moments given to you. There is no refund policy, once you have used them they are gone.

So chose wisely. 

With that said, if your moment, your tomorrow never came; how would you say you lived your life?
Did you live it the fullest, really, be honest?
Would you be satisfied in the legend you leave behind?
What kind of impression would you have left of yourself?

Is it one you are proud of? (it's only your opinion that truly matters here)?
Would others speak on how you really knew how to enjoy life and make the most of it? Even through times of good and bad?
We forget how unpredictable life can be.
How in one moment you're talking to a friend or relative, then the next they're gone.
There is always that one last thing you wanted to say. If I had to pick two they'd be:

1) that you meant something not just to me but many Iives you have touched. I'm honored to be one. 

2) Thank you for being such a good friend to me, for always being there, in good times and in bad... You will live in my heart for eternity because my love for you is that strong.
I've dealt with loss, too many times. I think and pray for them daily. I pray for their families as well.
We have to make the most of every day, live moment by moment. Not letting a single one slip by.
Stay in touch with friends, especially those you know who could use one.
You matter, people matter, and friends are a blessing, so don't throw them away. 

Always speak kind words. And love you for who you are because you are special, unique, and kind. I believe those traits are in us all, it's up to you to bring them to life. Bring the positive, leave the negative behind. Let's look forward a better you and a better me.
