GREAT POST! And a message we not only need to live ourselves but share with others. Thanks so much for a great reminder.

This is an amazing post. This is something I try so hard to remember...and too often forget. You never get a single minute back.

With me it's my kids. I have the rest of my life to lose this weight - I'm not at a life-threatening stage now - but I only have a few short years of raising them and helping them become the people they will be. It's gotta balance out.

Thanks!

Thanks and nice to meet you.

Awesome post!! Not sure which day I'd relive, probably when my mother was alive and happy!! You are so right about how we let life pass us by, today I am going to stop and sell the roses!!

Great post! WE do get so wrapped up in things that at the end of the day just aren't that important.

Maybe now that I'm older but I'm so aware of every minute and I do consider them gifts.

2008-04-16T20:04:00.000-05:00

that was a great post! I loved it because so much of it is true. I am the same way when I think about it..I woudlnt relive many of the moments I had as a younger thinner person like my first kiss or drivers license, etc. I also think that if this IS what is important to you, then thats ok that it means that much.

What an awesome post and you have such an eloquent...

What an awesome post and you have such an eloquent way with your words. You're right I wouldn't choose those days at a teenager that meant everything at the time. I don't do a lot of things because of my weight. It's my own insecurities, I don't want to be the center of attention and make a fool of myself trying something new (windsailing, jumping out of a perfectly good plane - not likely, but maybe, jetskiing, barrel racing...so many things). It's always well I will try that when I am thinner.

To relive any day I want? I would have to pick something that I was doing with my Dad, just like Nan. I miss him so much. Maybe the carnival, where I got that stuffed dog that I desperatly wanted. I still have it and it's been almost 25 years.

No more tear jerking topics when I am PMS'ing, darn you :P

Oh Lora, I love this post. It's one of your best!...

Oh Lora, I love this post. It's one of your best! Maybe because the theme resonates so strongly with this fellow person of a "certain age."

I do want to get healthy and I do want to lose weight, but I do NOT want to make that the focus of my world. There's just so much more to life than counting calories.

Thanks for the lovely reminder.

2008-04-16T10:23:00.000-05:00

Ya what you said! Wonderful post! I spent a lot of years wasting time. Waiting to live instead of just getting out there and living. No more. Every day is an awesome day. Parts of it may not be that great but lol thats part of the "life happens" thing.

Great post!
Have a wonderful day!

We totally do... He was sick all of my life, so I never took it for granted. I always spent time with him. He was my best buddy in the whole world! Just to have another day with him and be carefree would be great!

My wife died very suddenly five years ago, after 35 years of marriage. If I could live any day over again, it would just be any day that I spent with her. Your insights are terrific. Thanks for sharing.

You are such a smart lady. I tend to miss some of the little things because of the big thing. But that is one of the many things I'm working on right now!

2008-04-16T07:59:00.000-05:00

Great post! I live my life day to day. I always sit down to smell the roses and see the little things. I think it was getting my dog that really brought it to light. I realize that this dog won't be with me forever, so I don't take a moment for granted! I never pass up a chance to walk her, or take her for a ride, or go to the dog park. I love to just sit outside and relax and watch the world around me. I've chosen people that I want as my family. I've reconnected with other family because life is just too short.

Now... To re-live any day that I want? I would have to pick something that I was doing with my dad. It doesn't matter what it is, just any day with him! Ok.. now I'm gonna cry! ha ha
