Taking time…for granted
We plan for tomorrow…next week…
Next month…even next year…
Without knowing if it will ever come
Sometimes, I wonder if we spend so much time…planning…
That we miss the right here…right now…
Being present in this moment…
The one that we can be sure of
Grateful for what is today…
While always remaining hopeful…
With more gratitude tomorrow…
For the gift of tomorrow…if or when it comes
Sometimes we focus more on the losses in life…
Than the gains of…because it was
Time…is our life
It didn’t come with a limited or extended warranty…
We are allowed to ask for more time…
But only tomorrow will tell…if our request was granted
Don’t take the time you’ve been gifted…today…
For granted…don’t stick it on a shelf…
With good intentions of using it tomorrow
Don’t put plastic on it…allow it to breathe…
And enjoy every moment of it
Every morning that we wake up…it’s a gift
What are you going to do with yours today?
Don’t try to save it for tomorrow
Use it…your gift of life…today
it is a gift that not all have received…today
Time…is your life…don’t take it for granted
Be present in the moment…today
Live on and with purpose…today
