This year of 2015 is coming to a close soon. Another year learning, growing and expanding who I am. The one thing that keeps coming to mind though is how precious life it.

I wish I could call up my daughter and tell her how much I miss her. I would love to share with her about all the fun stuff  I am doing and learning. She was always my number one supporter and she believed in me. She was proud of me and told me so. She would tell everyone she knew about my artwork and my writing. I wish I could have another day with her and tell her how important that was to me and how much those words help me keep working toward my dreams.  They also helped me keep moving forward after she left this earth.

I think it is so very important to tell the people you care about, how much you love them. Not once in a while, but at every opportunity you can. I know I make some people uncomfortable when I do tell them I love them but I am not going to stop. I don’t want to leave this earth and have anyone wonder how I felt about them. It may embarrass them today but if I am no longer here to say it, they are going to be happy that I did say it even if it embarrassed them.

We are all given a finite amount of time to live this lifetime. Each individual day is so precious. Make sure you are spending it in a way that makes you happy. When you look at yourself in the mirror be proud at who is looking back. Please don’t forget to tell those you care about how you feel whenever you can.

2015 is coming to a close, send a note, give a call, type a text. Whatever you need to do to let those you care about know your feelings. It will make you happy and proud of the person looking back at you in the mirror.
