So today in Roman numerals i turned XLIX. It's been an interesting ride in life, and given the events of the day meaning life, one learns that perspective helps define how you're going to view life itself. So let's take a look at a simple phrase -
"May you live every day of your life" - Jonathan Swift
I came across this saying this week and felt it was appropriate. So what is living every day of your life? How would say you have truly lived this day of your life?
There are many ways to explore this and over time we will -Comparing our time spent obsessing about sports, whether professional or at Enormous University; or in pursuit of items that don't truly bring lasting enjoyment; etc.
Right now though just simply compare these two songs. I like both songs and appreciate the talent used in creating and performing them, but one song's ideas I embrace and the other are lyrics that as a viewpoint I totally reject.

So, I'll take the former as a viewpoint to how life should be lived. Enjoying my children and wife, friends and extended family, and most of all my most important relationship with my Savior and my God.
So ask yourself, are you living life or looking back wishing what would have been? If it is the latter, then you can do something about it, but you're the one to decide.
May God bless you as he has me.
Sincerely, eneg
