i finished a great book last night.
it was different . . . but great – it’s called the ‘time traveler’s wife’.
there was one spot in particular that really made me think. i’m about to give away a portion of the ending (kind of), so if you want to be completely surprised, stop reading right NOW!
the lead character knew the day and time of his death and was saying his goodbyes. the main character wasn’t sick in any way. he had some problems, but he wasn’t just hanging on or anything. he was healthy by all accounts. i realized what a blessing it would be to be able to say goodbye in the best of times instead of the worst of times.
i also realized how important it is to live each day as fully as possible.
it’s life and it’s great.
it’s not worth just slouching through life and slogging it out. i need to live it up. tell my wife and kids and family that i love them. to be positive and live with integrity. to no worry about appearances, but to stand up for what i believe in.
life is just too short to compromise all the time.
so i’m just going to live it the way i think i’m supposed to.
