On Sunday I shared with you that it was my daughter's 19th Birthday, what I didn't share was that it was also the memorial for one of my best friend's husband who had passed away after a four year battle with cancer.
While at the Life Celebration I was wondered to see how this gentleman's life had been laid out on display. Various stages of his life was shared in pictures, trophies he had won for sports, as well as a book depicting a dreamed trip to Europe with his daughters among other things. He was extremely active throughout his life.
Walking among his life memories it made me think of how my life would be remembered when I was gone. It was very humbling to give thought to what people would say about me as they shared their memories. I also thought..would there be anything good to show of my life when I'm gone? What would be used to tell the story of my life?
I was thinking of doing this as a boot camp challenge but I think I'll just ask the questions here...
We only get one life, and even though the life we have now is a pained life, it is still the only one we're going to get....live your life....I mean truly LIVE YOUR LIFE! Make you memories, chase your dreams, and love yourself enough to live your life for you and not your pain.

- What do you want to be remembered for in your life?
- What will be used to tell the story of your life?
- How are you living?
