live.

“we live, we love, we forgive and never give up ‘cuz the days we are given are gifts from above, and today we remember to live and to love”

These are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs lately. It’s a song called “We Live” by a band called Superchick. Every once in awhile, I love to listen to KLOVE on the radio. It’s a Christian radio station and the songs on it are just so good. Anyway, this song always gets stuck in my head and I just love the message of it.

How often do we waste time worrying about stupid things in life? Why not let all that go and enjoy life and the days we’re blessed with? It shouldn’t be a sudden death of someone close to us to remind us to live life to the fullest. Don’t go around with grudges. Don’t spend time being mad.  Surely there’s something good in your life that you’re blessed with. I promise that if you think about it, there are tons of blessings in your life worth being happy about.

It’s Thanksgiving week. Take a minute to be truly thankful. There are millions of people who are jobless, who have lost their homes, who have terminal illnesses, and who are alone in this world.

If you have your health, be thankful. If you have family, be thankful. If you have a place to rest your head, be thankful. If you have a full belly, be thankful.

I’m almost obsessed with being thankful lately and if you’ve read my last post, you know why. It’s just so easy to get down on yourself and the crap that comes in life and let that outweigh the good.

Live life fully. Be happy. Forgive the person who has hurt you the most. Love your friends, family, coworkers and strangers on the streets. I promise that you’ll be happier because of it.

… and, if you get a chance, look up this song. It’s fantastic and it puts me in a good mood.
