  • Fly Free

    Fly Free

    bird_escaping_from_cage_1787270I had two lovebirds for almost 13 years until one bird died last year. The one remaining bird sits in the cage and sings when he hears the outside birds when the windows and the doors are open. The cage is the only thing he has ever known. I share this because the other day on my walk, I passed an injured bird that looked like it was gasping it’s last breathe. Despite the dangers and the uncertainties that life offers there is a sense of freedom that life offers when we choose to fly. Some of us are living life safe and sound in a cage like the lovebird. If the cage door was opened, would you be willing to leave it?

    Get Off the Bench

    Are you actively participating in your life or are you just spectating? Actively participating is working to create your life by making conscious choices. It is easy to sit on the sidelines and complain about the hand that life deals. It takes courage and action to get up off the bench to participate. Life will not be easier but it can be richer. Keep this in mind, it takes getting into the game in order to have a chance at winning. A 50/50 percent chance is a much better set of odds than 100% of nothing.

    A Friendly Reminder

    time2“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” ― Mae West

    Death is a reminder that life is worth living. Time is the most valuable resource that you have. We have the beautiful choice in how we spend our time but always keep in mind that when it is gone, it is gone forever.
