Note to Self

Time moves pretty quickly. Remember days when all you had was time? Time to think, time to reflect? But now...now is for living.

Just live.

Wake up, tie your boots on and get out in it. Smell it, feel it. Roll down the windows so you can hear it. Listen. Make some noise and be a part of it. Put your hands in it. Deep. Pick it up and toss it. Break it open against the ground. Flip it over. Drink it up. Let it spill. Touch.

Take the time.

Take the effort to throw it a mile and kick it when it comes down. Hug it and don't let go. Stare at it. Clench your fists and scream it. Raise your arms to celebrate it. Hold it's hands and dance. Close your eyes and take that chance. Make it happen.

Crawl through it on your hands and knees. Surrender. Defy. Rebel. Let it break you down. Get up with it. Run with it until your legs give out and you can't move or breathe or shout. Encircle it. Let it in. Float in it. Spin...Smile...Ride. Stack it up into the sky. Burn it down to feel the heat. Chase it.

Tell it jokes until you cry. Cry with it until you smile. Laugh with it.

Make it pretty. Give it away. Cover it with mud. Let it stay.

Race it to the edge of the Earth. Jump with it. Fly above.

Dream about it.

Shower it with love. Protect it.

Never. Ever. Forget it.

Don't forget.

This is it.
