You never know what life is going to throw your way. If you live life always wondering about the
have nots and not your haves, you won’t appreciate all you do have. I’ve gone through my life with much heartache,
some completely out of my control; such as death of a loved one and then others
completely in my control; such as a bad decision. Most have made me just want to fight harder
when things get tough, others have made me a bit numb, and some have made me
hold on tighter to those I love.
Cheryl was a person that lived life appreciating all that
she did have. Even when she was battling
cancer, she would find something to make that glass half full. I feel she left so many messages about life
through her death. Everywhere Cheryl
went she planted some kind of seed. It
was as simple a gesture of saying hello to a stranger, or working with a
challenging student making them believe they had a chance, or just sitting with
a friend listening as they were going through some kind of trial in their life.
As I get older the phrase “Live for the Moment” has become more
and more meaningful. Why continue to
wish for the “have nots”, stressing about things that are not going to change
and start living for all your “haves”, making the most of every moment. Maybe it’s not the ideal situation, marriage
or relationship, or life you dreamed of having, but some of the hardest times
make the best of memories if you just hang in.
As you go through this next week try to focus on your “haves” not your “have
nots”, and see how much happier your week can be.
Have a great week of “Haves”!
Making the Most of her Dash,
Love you all!
Adrienne
