Given Yet Another Day to Live

Darla Cooke on May 28, 2009

Cherishing every precious moment.

Given yet another day to live.

I’ll cherish every precious moment.

Valuing the time I’ve been given.

Experiencing new adventures.

Needing to go out and have fun.

Yielding to the call of freedom.

Excitement is what I’m craving.

Temptations I’m unable to resist.

Another precious day I’ve been given.

New adventures are waiting for me.

Outside there is much to explore.

Thankful for the blessing of life.

Happiness is what I’m striving for.

End to all my worries and strife.

Ready to move forward and ahead.

Dreaming of a much brighter future.

Always attempting to do better.

Yearning to put my life in order.

Taking this chance I’ve been given.

Obedient to my heart’s desires.

Laughter will fill up my days.

Increasing as joy enters my life.

Visions of beauty I will behold.

Enjoying every precious moment.

I think too many people take life to lightly. We never know when someone close to us may pass or when it is our time to go. Did you hear about Mike Tyson’s daughter? How sad is that…and to think…she was just in the other room “playing”.

It’s a little like a self-mantra, Darla. Chant this to yourself every morning.
