I'm reading One Month to Live by Kerry & Chris Shook, again. It's one of those books that I've already read once and will probably read again and again. There's a chapter for each of the 30 days teaching you how to live your life as it were your last month. Here's a thought that stuck with me. Why wait until you know you only have 30 days left? Wouldn't it better to start living now like you would if it were your last days? In all truth, we don't know when our day will be up. The happiest people live with no regrets. Day 1 talked about how people are usually defined by their date of birth and their date of death. For example, when you see tombstones, they say something like 5/5/40-10/25/10. The beginning and the end aren't as important as what happens in between those dates, better know as the "dash". I'm trying everyday to make my "dash" something to be proud of.
On a side note, Neal is cracking me up right now singing "Ice Ice Baby" in our living room. Just after he came in from watering the backyard. I love to look out the window and see him doing yard work. I love our house! I have a feeling we're going to be here for a long time. We ate at Otilia's tonight. Authentic Mexican food. Love the Tex Mex but this is totally different. Not as greasy and cheesy but still very good. Somehow we are in the middle of a major workout funk. We used to be so good. I did run yesterday morning but couldn't muster up the energy to work out today. Maybe if I try on my wedding dress, I'll get a wake up call and get back in the program. I know I'll feel better if I exercise, so why is it so hard to just do it? Ugh!
