First Day, Last Day

If today was the very first day that you were alive or the very last day that you would have on this earth, what would that be like? What would you do? What would it be like to taste chocolate for the first time, or the last? What would it be like to smell a flower, look in the face of someone who loves you, feel the breeze or the sun on your skin? Would you savor each experience? Would you drink in every detail? Are you living each day that way? Can you?

Today IS the first day and today could be the last day for every person on the planet. No one knows who will be here tomorrow and who will not. Make each moment, each experience a first and possible last. Then there will be no regrets.

(Friday morning, my neighbor Pat lost her battle with lupus nephritis. May she rest in peace and may light perpetual shine upon her.)
