Live It Well

I just got a new batch of CDs in the mail yesterday.

I love new music. I mean, it can be an older album, but it's new to me and I love it.

Anyways, there's this song on the new Switchfoot album and the lyrics...they blow me out of the water each time I hear them.

'Life is short; I want to live it well
One life, one story to tell
Life is short; I want to live it well
And You're the one I'm living for
Awaken my soul
Every breath that you take is a miracle
Life is short I want to live it well'

We forget that our days are numbered. We take for granted the very breath in our lungs, forgetting that it is even a miracle that we breathe in and out.

Why waste our time being angry? Why waste our time thinking about things that aren't even important? Why worry about tomorrow when all we have is right now?

I want to live my life well. I want to be quick to listen to others. I want to be slow to anger and slow to speak. I want to forgive. I want to learn and grow. I want to love more than I have ever loved before.

My life is short, so I want to live it as well as I can, one day at a time.
