DEADLY DECISIONS...

Last night, at about 10:30 p.m., I got a call.


Much to my regret and sadness, I received the news that a friend of mine had died of cancer. She was a mere 58. This woman was such a bright light in so many others' lives.

It was rare to see her without a smile on her face, a kind word, and dressed like a diva!


It got me to thinking. (Death does have a way of making us reflective.)


Time is such a gift that many of us take for granted. There used to be a day when death was reserved for those that were elderly or afflicted with fatal diseases.


Not anymore. For much of the time I had known her, she was the picture of health, always ripping and running full tilt--always attending to the needs of others.


Her demise has caused me to think differently, to pledge to live differently.



As of today, I commit to:


WORRYING LESS, TRUSTING GOD MORE

EATING MORE HEALTHILY--Eventually doing away with all pork and maybe red meat

EXERCISING MORE--Starting by dusting off my vast collection of workout videos

IMPROVING MY FINANCIAL FITNESS--Which can be the source of stress

FULFILLING(MORE FULLY) MY DIVINE PURPOSE-Getting an agent, publishing 2 more books (1 relationship, 1 for writers)

PRACTICING PROSPERITY PRINCIPLES



And I'm putting it in writing, to help my goals to become more concrete.



How about you? How will you show value for your time spent here?

If today were your last day on earth, would you have many regrets for things you hadn't done?



...Food 4 thought.
