Week 15- Living Life to its Fullest

I’m not one who loves thinking about dying. It’s sad and frankly kind of scary. But at the same time, death is a joyous time as well. Death is a time when we reminisce on our lives and those that we love. We laugh about the funny times, we cry about the sad ones. Life is full of so many different experiences and at death we remember them all. If I were going to die, I would want people to know how much they meant to me. To those that changed my life, whether it was by making my day when I was sad or by giving me much needed inspiration, I would want them to know how much they meant to me. I would want to bear my testimony. This is no time to let back all that I love and believe in. This is a time to let the world know of my beliefs.
This earth has always held a fond place in my heart. I have spent so much time exploring its many wonders throughout my life. From sea to shining sea; I have loved every minute of it! I hope, before I die, to explore the many wonders of the rest of the world. To stay in a castle in Scotland, to stand on the Eiffel tower with my sweethearts arms encircling me; these are the dreams of my life. Before I die, I would notice the true beauty and majesty of the world around me. I would notice the rich colors of the leaves in fall; I would hear the soft crash of the waves on the sea shore. But not only would I notice the earth and its beauty, I would notice the beauty of the people around me. I would revel in the rich traditions and cultures of the earth and notice the many good things about each one. It will be sad to leave this earth with its glorious landscapes and wondrous cultures. But I know that life will be beyond what I can imagine after I die.
To those that I love I would say, thank you and remember to look around you each day and to praise the Lord for your many blessings and opportunities. Live your life to its fullest, grabbing at every opportunity handed to you. This is no time let back! Explore, share and dream; let your life be the one you want it to be! As Grandma Moses said, "Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be." I would implore to all those that I love, make life what you want it, live it and love it!
