Life's too short.
Too short for what?
To short to forget to say I love you
To short to stay angry.
To short to work so hard you forget what's most important.
Youth is wasted on the young.
Why do they say that?
Because it's true.
When I was young, I only wanted to be older.
I was always looking forward because the future was so much better.
Present vs. Presents.
The present IS a present.
I just seem to toss each gift aside though wondering what's in the next box.
What I want....
No--what I NEED
is NOW.
I need SLOW
I need FOCUS
I need ACCEPTANCE
I need FAITH.
Embrace what today is.
Let go of what yesterday was.
Accept what is.
Realize my family should be my focus.
Today.
And nothing else matters.
