Short Thought for the Moment
Tim McGraw - Live Like You Were Dying
He said I was in my early forties
with a lot of life before me
when a moment came
that stopped me on a dime
and I spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options
and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
how's it hit you
when you get that kinda news
man what'd you do
and he said
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds
on a bull named BluManchu
and I loved deeper
and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness
I'd been denying
and he said someday
I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
He said I was finally the husband
that most the time I wasn't
and I became a friend
a friend would like to have
and all the sudden going fishin
wasn't such an imposition
and I went three times
that year I lost my dad
well I finally read the good book
and I took a good long hard look
at what I'd do if I could do it all again
and then
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named BluManchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I?d been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
Like tomorrow was a gift
and you got eternity to think about
what'd you do with it
what did you do with it
what did I do with it
what would I do with it?
Sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named BluManchu
and then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
I watched this video yesterday on Father's Day and it made me cry. Really put a lot of things in perspective for me. What would you really do if someone that close to you wasn't there anymore? How would you act, feel, live, and look at the world? I know most of us have gone through similar things like this and unfortunately we probably all will again. But I think things like this really make us who we are. I just wanted to say I love all of you, in one way or another, in my life and everyone who has ever been in my life. No matter if I see and talk to you everyday, or if you're hundreds of miles away, or if you have come in and out of my life. If it wasn't for you all life really wouldn't be living. Well, I need to get up at 7:00am so I think it's time for bed. Thank you all for reading and God Bless.
