"What am I to do? I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good work, therefore, any kindness, or any service I can render to any soul of man or animal, let me do it now. Let me not neglect or defer it, for I shall not pass this way again."
-An Old Quaker Saying
This is how I want to live my life. I want to give everything I have right now because this is the only chance I have to give it. It's easy to get lost in the routine of our day to day lives and forget what living is really about. We quickly find ourself worrying about what's going to be for dinner that night or how we will get every kid to their birthday party and forget that we are lucky to have dinner and birthday parties to go to and that it's better to just embrace them. We lose the moment we are living because we are worried about the next. Before we know it these moments become fewer and far between and we sit there wishing we could get them back. Let's live in every moment, because we only pass through this life once.
Forever and Always
