Monday

It's that day again where we think about what lies ahead in the coming week. Appointments, meetings, dates, schedules and arrangements to be made all face us as we prepare for the next seven days.


Many people play it safe...some take a few risks...others lay it all on the line.


There is an old poem that says it far better than I. Actually there are several different wordings of the same poem, but this one says it best. I am not sure of the author, but I am certain whoever wrote it wouldn't mind its wider distribution.



Life is not a journey to the grave
With the intention of
Arriving safely in a pretty
And well preserved body,
But rather to skid in broadside,
Thoroughly used up,
Totally worn out,
And loudly proclaiming,
WOW !!!! What a ride!

What would your life look like this week if you realized that "life is not a journey to the grave" but a life that is to be "thoroughly used up and totally worn out?"


What would happen if you didn't play it safe this week? What would happen if you "went for it" and enjoyed the ride?

Life is not a beauty contest, but it is a contest to bring beauty to life...I'm just sayin'....Enjoy the ride!
