The Good Idea/Life Begins....

Greetings to all….

I want to talk about “life” today. Some people say that life begins when you take your first breath. Some people say that life begins at the time of conception.

Hugh Downs has said, “Life begins when you do.”

I stand on record as saying - I believe life begins at the time of conception. I also agree with Mr. Downs when he says, “life beings when you do.” That is when we truly start living. That is when all of the fun starts. We begin to feel life inside of us.

We truly live when we see a flower bloom, when we see the brightness of the sun, when we see a sky full of stars and when we see a hummingbird in flight. We truly live when we see the vast expanse of the ocean and feel the sand on our feet.

We truly feel life and how small we are in it when we experience the Grand Canyon . We feel life when we touch the hand of a baby. We feel life when we touch the hand of our grandparent. Life – so much of it to live and to share. What are you doing with yours?

Life becomes oh so real and purposeful when we get up and begin on the path that has been designed for us. Life becomes oh so real when we reach out and share our life with others.

When we share with others what we have been given; when we share what we know with someone else we are truly experiencing the gift of life.

I don’t believe living life is sitting in the biggest house on the hill. Having your desk on the top floor of the highest building or being untouchable.

Life is sitting under a tree and enjoying it. Life smells the salty air, the freshness of the morning dew and sees the beauty of a butterfly.

We still have the houses on the hill and we have the ones who sit in the chairs on the top floor of the highest buildings; just know that that it not real life.

Life is your heart and soul. Life is what God breathed into you. Take a deep breath of His goodness and experience life as He has given it. I promise you – a difference will be made. Live your life in His promise. Nancy
