A Life Well Lived

Waking to your children, wide-eyed, watching Saturday morning cartoons, with syrup on their breath is a life well lived.

Driving on a mountain road, wind in your hair, your favorite music ringing in your ears is a life well lived.

Making love to your spouse as rain pours down and thunder claps in the middle of the night is a life well lived.

Finding yourself in personal reflection with a notebook and pen in hand is a life well lived.

Reaching a goal, trying to reach a goal or even realizing that goal is not what you wanted, is a life well lived.

Having a personal relationship with your God and knowing he loves you no matter what is a life well lived.

Talking on the phone with an old friend, acting like you are in junior high again, is a life well lived.

Working hard for the things and relationships you have, and treating them all with respect is a life well lived.

Finding the love of your life and doing everything you can to keep them, is a life well lived.

Watching your children achieve and picking them up when they fail, no matter their age, is a life well lived.

Lying on your deathbed with the ones you love near, knowing you will see them again, having absolutely no regrets, is a life well lived.
