How to Really Live

I’ve been thinking about living.

I mean really living: Loving well. Laughing hard. Leaving this earth without regrets.

Because this. is. it. There isn’t a redo, a rewind, a recapture. You only get today…

    I want to learn how to really be myself. Instead of looking at myself as the way I think others want me to be, I just want to walk my own path and be totally at peace in my own skin. I want to learn to see myself as God’s masterpiece, His beautiful work of art. When I see myself that way, maybe then I can see my mom and my daughter as God’s on-purpose made-this-way-because-it’s-the-best-way-display-His-glory gift to me.
