In light of recent happenings here on T.com (the passing of Erika/cancersucks) and in my personal life (the still birth of my first niece and also the passing of my best friend, Mathias) I thought I would post some words from a person that was a real life angel, someone who also lost their life almost twelve months ago, my sister, Sydney (Lalligal).
I wish to share with you this post that Sydney wrote herself...you can read the original here Every Moment Is Precious. ...but I have copied and pasted the body of the blog, minus the music, below.
Every Moment Is Precious.
How often do we choose to see the world through the eyes of an acromat, in grey tones instead the hues of a rainbow? How often do we turn a deaf ear to the sweet melodies of life, choosing to only hear the sombre beat of a bass drum? Sadly, for most the answer is all too often.
I wonder how some people can hear anything good come into their lives when their words, thoughts and/or tears of bitterness are so loud. They are so busy questioning 'Why me?', hanging onto the past, painful memories, laying blame, mouthing words of how they have been wronged that they forget to live. They forget to appreciate all the good things in their life, both past and present--so many precious moments can be lost because we fail to be still and listen, to see.
I am not wishing to trivialize anyone's trials, tribulations, hurts and worries; I know all too well how life can place obstacles on our path through life, but sometimes we are so busy paying attention to those obstacles that we fail to take note of the beauty lining that life path and all too soon it is gone from our sight or grasp. Find the beauty in your life and let that be the focus--be it a child's laugh, a flower, a book, a hobby, a phone conversation with a friend or a simple text message, listening to a song, sharing a meal with family or friends; it is the little things that make up the big picture. Life, make the most of it before it is whisked away in a blink of an eye. We only live once--live gloriously, live with every breath, live with brilliance.
Every moment is precious.
One of my precious moments--Christian [When Love Is Lost To Death] and I after an early morning swim.
My sister was so very right...
