if today was your last day

     I just heard a really good song- not a Christian song, but still a great message.  It's by Nickelback.

Here's part of it:
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?

     I think about that a lot... what if today is my last day?  People always say you need to live your life to the fullest, but how many of us actually do?  How many of us actually go and smell the roses?  I think that I do, and then I remember all of those times that I just slack off all day, just sitting on the computer or watching TV.  I know I could be petting my cat, or going outside to water the plants, or take a nice long walk... but I don't.  We all usually don't.  I mean, yeah... we know that we could be doing something more productive, but we think: "Oh... I can just do that tomorrow.  I have plenty of time."  What if there is no tomorrow?  (sorry about the 1. down there... it won't go away lol)

1. Sometimes I wish I had a happier life, and I complain because "Oh no, my life sucks.  Everything is going wrong, why am I such a loser?  If only this... if only that..."  I think that I actually will go out and smell the roses, today.  Maybe you should too- I dare ya!
