“Live like you were dying” is a phrase sung by country singer Tim McGraw. A part of the song’s message is, “I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter; And I watched the eagle as it was flying. Â . . . Someday I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying.”
What a beautiful message, a call to see each day as a brand new day full of possibility. Â The song speaks of climbing mountains, sky diving, riding a rodeo bull. Perhaps I’m a bit skittish about those kinds of risky acts. But what are the sacred risks I am willing to take each time I am given the gift of a brand new day? Â It’s worth contemplating. And it’s not a bad idea to fully live every second as if it might be your last.
Enjoy your our brand new day! Look out for a soaring eagle or a hovering hummingbird. Look at the petals of a flower or the deep green of a leaf. Ride a bronco if you dare! In whatever way is good for you, embrace your brand new day.
