Every day is a gift...

Sometimes you have to step back from your life for a moment and give it a little perspective.
One key thing that I've learned recently, and I can't stress this enough, is that you only get one shot at life, so make it count.
Consider what it would feel like to be taking your last breath... I can almost guarantee that you won't say "I wish I had worked more". No, more likely you're going to say "I wish I had spent more time with the people I love, doing the things that make me smile".
Realizing this, and acting accordingly has improved my life so much. Now I find that things roll off of me, I don't bring work, or work's stresses home with me. When all's said and done, I don't live ot work... I work to live.

And with that in mind, I'm going to take Friday afternoon off with Brian and go wakeboarding, because that's what makes me smile.
