just a quick note to everyone

I started my Monday by checking in with a few photographer forums. One of the photographers over at OSP created a thread about a friend that had recently passed away. In his post he included this quote from a message the friend had written him some time ago. I thought it was quite poignant and wanted to share it with all of you.

"I think there would be little point to life if it did not end in death. I do not give up on life simply because it ends in death. Rather, life is much more meaningful and important because of its perishable nature. I only have one life to live, and I want to make the most of it."

I think these are wonderful words for all of us to remember as we proceed through our daily checklists. It's too easy to wait just one more day, feel that a message you'd like to send someone is sappy and ridiculous, or slip into our own safe cocoon and watch as the world passes.

I urge you not to do so. Reach out. Embrace life and those that walk through it with you.

And take the time each morning to consider, "Am I making my life what I want it to be?"

Then do it.


blessings,
