If you found out you had just a week to live, how would you spend it? You may find that you subconsciously begin to prioritize. Things that you deemed important may not seem so, anymore. Why? Maybe it's because you have been forced to realize the home truth, life is indeed transient.
You do realize that there about 60- 90 trillion cells, 7 trillion nerves, 639 muscles, 206 bones, 23 organs and 10 pints of blood that make up the miracle, that is YOU. You are a divine work of art so do take some time to appreciate it. It could be a minute to offer a prayer as you wake. Giving a hug and a kiss to a loved one(s). Smiling at your reflection in the mirror. Or just looking up at the sky.
Never allow yourself, live under the illusion that you are indispensable. At best,you will be remembered, and your absence will be felt by those, who genuinely cared about you. Even they, will move on in time. Do not forget, you cannot stop or turn back the hands of time. So, do what you can, LIVE EVERYDAY. Recognize each dawn for what it is, a gift......
..... "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away". - Maya Angelou
