I am crazy.
These days, I always ask myself, what if tomorrow will not come?
If that is the case, I guess I am one of the happiest persons who will die.

With what happened in the yesterdays - the news on wars and demonstrations, quakes, tsunamis; the destructions and losses it brought, it made me ponder... what really matters in life?

The yesterdays compelled me to give premium on what is only at the present. I do not want to work my ass out for a future I am even uncertain of experiencing.

What matters in life is the life we give to it!

laugh our hearts out.
 extend our hands to help people in need.
 go to the beach or walk in the fields or trek the mountains.
 chat with friends, spend time to catch up with them.
 smell the coffee or tea or milk before drinking it.
 eat every meal with gusto.
 listen and groove to the music.
 play an instrument.
 read a great book.
 face our fears.
 make someone happy.
 forgive and live.
 dance and sing without inhibitions.
 argue with sense.
 love deeply.
 acknowledge mistakes and insist only what's upright.
 give premium to relationships.
 enjoy the fruits of sound choices.
 risk without counting the cost.
 spend quality time with family.
 put faith into action.
 reflect and pray.
 a lot of simple acts or encounters that bring true bliss.

Can you remember doing those lately? 

In times when everyone else goes with the hustling-and-bustling-paced of life, to pause or to stop for a moment to take some sweet time, seems to be a mortal sin.

It is too ironic that in our pursuit of life, we sometimes forget how is it to truly live.

The advent of technology enables us to have our high-powered gadgets, but none of its kind is powerful enough to capture what one truly feels, what one truly thinks and desires.
No gadget has the capacity to ever capture the sincerity of one's intentions in doing good acts.

Have you ever noticed that most of the time we fail to savor the beauty of what's around because we are in a hurry with everything? We hastily take pictures without even stopping to thank God for the wonderful things He has created.

Have you ever stopped and look to the skies? When was the last time you appreciated the jewels it bears?

We have been so preoccupied by deadlines to beat, by appointments and meetings to attend to;
We have been so hooked on the various social networking sites; or
We have been just so mindful of our own concerns or only that of our small circles;
or I might be the one thinking of it, I hope I am wrong in thinking that way.
~~

If tomorrow never comes, I am contented of the life I have led.
I may not have the fanciest of things, I may be nothing compared to the world's richest,
but
I know, I did live a great life!
If today is our last day, I am sure ready!
Again, I know I am one of those who will die the happiest :)

For now, I want to believe that God permits me to live because there are a lot of things that I ought to do for Him.
Yes, it's time to really live.
May we always have the heart and the right disposition to see the beauty of everything that we encounter, good or bad may it be.

God Bless everyone! :)
