Have you ever forgotten that you're alive? Have you ever been so caught up in the details and dramas of life, only to forget that one day, you aren't going to be here anymore? These questions came to me when trying to describe the M.O. of a couple of people in my life.
I have made a commitment to learning from every relationship interaction, and such, results in learning from those in my world that I don't want to be like. As I was describing to a friend how I felt when interacting with some other friends, I noticed this sort of entitlement over appreciation with them and in that moment, I got the hit: I think they forget that life is a gift. Now, whether that's true or not, I took this awareness as feedback for myself. I get to own my appreciation for being alive and take advantage of the day to express such joy.
And... this is my toss to you:
Are you willing to see life as a gift and appreciate your life, today?

great realization and toss dude. i actually took some time out yesterday and just sat listening to some of my favorite music. there were several rap songs in a row that talked about how much the rapper (The Game) loved his friends and felt connected to, close to, and even protective of them. i really had the opportunity to reflect on the people in my life and how much i love them and how i really want to show them even more how much i love and support them. and you're one of those people. i love you dude. thank you for being in my life and in my gang. :) go TEAM MEGAN!
Fabulous realization, Friend! Wow! Thank you for sharing this. I am really appreciating the toss, especially this week. Am *I* appreciating *my* life?! WOW! Thanks.
Love you!
