What If

What If

I’m a one day at a time kind of gal.
Don’t make me plan ahead, don’t ask me too far in advance.
I take each moment as it gets here.
One sweet sunrise at a time

& I consistently try to look at each and every single day as a gift.


Because that’s exactly what it is, a beautifully awesome, priceless gift.

But, you know how life can be.
Sometimes, try as I might, I get caught in the grind of living
& I take things,
many, MANY things, for granted

then, just like that, Covid-19 concerns and ! stay home ! alerts are everywhere
and I STOP
and I wonder.
What If ?

What if today was my very last day ?

What would I do ?
Where would I go ?
What would I say ?

Would I be happy with me and the way I’ve lived ? or would I have regrets and some last minute oh no’s !! ?

Would I feel joy in knowing my next stop is an extremely good place
or sadness, maybe even anger because I’ve been “robbed” ?
Why ME ??!??

Have I said everything I’ve meant to say ?
Do the people I treasure most know that I truly do treasure them most ?

Have I helped enough, done enough ?
Been kind enough ?

Would I be ok with today being THE last day if today actually was my last day ? or would I respond with a wait, WAIT !! just one more ! PLEASE ! ?

So many questions
& yet, one of these days really WILL be my last.

Do.
Say.
Be.
Live.
Enjoy.
Love.
Treasure.

Treat THIS today accordingly.
