Thoughts at the Moment


     As you go through this life, you will never really know how you have touched others.  You may have somewhat of an idea, a tiny little glimmer as to how you made somebody feel, but never fully understand the exact impact.  This may be because people do not really know how much you have touched their lives, whether it be big or small, until you’re already gone.  And when it gets to this point, it’s too late to say thank you for whatever it is that needs thanks and I love you is out the window.  So never hesitate to show somebody you care.  Don’t ever feel like you are going to annoy a person with a simple hi or well wishes. It may mean more than you think and even more, it could be the last chance you get to. 
     Childhood seems to go by at the pace of a snail but once we become adults it seems to be flying by in no time.  And when we start losing those we once shared the “we’re going to live forever” mindset with, it really starts to sink in that we are only human.  Anything can happen at any given moment and we really have no control over it or the outcome.  I guess that is what makes life daring and exciting in a way but it can also knock us down for a horrible, unwanted reality check. 
     If you are reading this, you are still here.  You are alive still for a reason.  Live for today and don’t waste a moment.  Those dreams you have always dreamed, it’s never too late.  Don’t worry too much and try to spend as much time on this earth happy and helping others be happy too.  After all, this is your life to live and you get only one chance at it.  Why spend it any other way but blissful.
