If you were to die tomorrow, would you be happy about how you spent today?

Get on the phone today and say something special to everyone who is special to you.
Go around today to everyone you love who is close to you and give them a hug and a smooch and a real sign of your love.

Write a note today to all of your distant but still good friends and tell them what having them in your life has meant to you.

Then sit down and draft a letter to your children or your grandchildren and share with them everything that you have learned about life, everything that you want them to know about how to get through, how to make things work, how to find joy and have fun and bring themselves and other people some happiness amidst all the challenges they are

Tell them what those challenges are about and why they have arisen and how to best meet them and the way to celebrate them.

And when you're through with all of that write yourself a letter, telling yourself how good you have been and how well you have done, given all that you have had to deal with and everything you have encountered. And then write a letter to God, saying thanks for all the blessings, and that you can't wait `til you get back Home to tell all of your loved ones there all about what your adventure here is has been like, what you have learned, and what you're going to do Next Time Around to apply all that you have learned.

If you do not die tomorrow, if you are still alive by the end of the week, decide how you want to spend whatever time you have left with your present body. Make a New Decision about the meaning and the purpose of your life. Elevate it beyond the survival level. Look to see what you would choose as the reason you are living if you thought that the choice is being made by your Soul and not by your Mind.

Live whatever days you have left from that space, in the best way that you can. Serve the agenda of your Soul. Your life, however much longer it goes on, will never be the same. It will have some meaning, at last. It will have some meaningful purpose. And that will make every moment special. ...love and hugs,
