All We Got Is Right Now

So it’s been a week since I first started this blog. I was working on another post but some thing’s have happened recently and I decided to save that for another day. I’ve been going through a lot of tests in my life lately and have been kind of down. Yesterday, someone I knew passed away. He had a fiancé and was supposed to be married this upcoming May. Come to find out she is expecting as well. This really put things into perspective for me.
 I realized I take a lot of things for granted in my life. Like the title of this post, all we got is right now. It’s now, right now, in this moment…..tomorrow is never promised. Life is really to short to waste it being mad or sad or stressed. I sit and analyze my situations and say to myself when things get bad, it could be worse. There are others in much worse places in their life than me. I am fortunate to have the things that I have and the friends and family that surround me. I have noticed that I spend a lot of time trying to make people around me happy and that leaves no time for myself. You have to start with you, to be truly happy in your life. They say before you can love someone you have to love yourself. And I’m seeing and feeling that more and more. I just encourage everyone like I try to encourage myself to not take things or people in your life for granted. If you love someone tell them, if you have an argument with your significant other fix it. Don’t ever go to sleep angry because you might just wake up without that person the next day. I can honestly say I’ve learned a lesson. Yesterday was a wake up call. I’ve heard the phone ringing for a while now, and I’m finally picking up!

Thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts….I’m happy to share them.
