Beauty is Now

I’ve been thinking a lot about Ted Kennedy, bless his heart. What must he be thinking right now? I
know that he is somewhat in shock. Even though he is in his seventies, he is a robust, energetic man. To be suddenly hit with the possibility that he might not have, 6 months to a year left to live must be devastating. Devastating and too horrible to believe.

I wonder if he is planning the rest of his life now. Is he thinking about all the things he wants to do? I bet he is cherishing every day he has left. Life must be so precious to him right now.

How easy it is for us to forget how precious life is. We go through the daily hustle and bustle without taking time to breathe.

We don’t savor life on our taste buds. We don’t count our blessings.

I want to get to the point where I live every day as if it were my last. I want to savor my relationships, my family, my work. I want to take the time to go to the bookstore or the museum. I want to attend more concerts and dances.

My mid-year resolution is to savor the taste of life.
