Seize the Day While You Can

15 Comments/ 60/ 2

Life is too short.

Life is too short to not sit outside on the deck when the weather is nice.  Even if it is just for a few minutes.

Life is too short to not use the good dishes or eat in the dining room.

Life is too short to not wear the expensive perfume.

Life is too short to not say what is on your mind.

Life is too short to be wasted on silly disagreements.

Life is too short to not stop and admire every beautiful thing in nature that we happen upon.

Life is too short to not embrace new things.

Life is too short to not say I am sorry when we are wrong.

Life is too short to ignore someone in need.

Life is too short to not sample something new.

Life is too short to worry about a single thing that you can do nothing about.

Life is too short to blend in.

Life is too short to spend in negativity.

Life is too short to be living someone else’s dream.

Life is too short to not do something challenging.

Life is too short to not do what you love.

Life is too short to not tell those you love how much you love them every single day.

Life is too short to not take time to be yourself and only yourself.

Life is too short to just exist—go out and LIVE!

    Yes! Such a good reminder. And as I’ve just spent seven weeks in Australia with Allison, Kyle and their new bub, this is so timely. Life is too short to say “no Allison. I can’t be away for that long.” Of course having a sweet and supportive husband helps too. And God has given me truly one of the best times of my life by being here. Life is too short not to welcome a grandbub and hold him every day for six weeks! Sorry to ramble! Just so grateful and happy to share! love you!

    Oh, hear, hear! Great post and I totally agree with all of them. (Except I admittedly do have some trouble with the worrying one…..) 😉

    I LOVE THIS! I was home yesterday due to the snow and I should have cleaned the house so I don’t have to do it this weekend, etc. but instead…I sat and played the Game of Life and Sequence and made pancakes with my favorite 14yo! He still wants to do those things and in 4 short years, he’ll be gone! So, yup…life is too short to worry about having a clean house! 😉

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
