I love your comment and your zest for life. Your fire really comes through in your comment (and your blog, too). Thanks for taking the time to share with us, Keith, and know that you’re already doing your best, just being. Thanks for tending to your blog, too, because I am quite enjoying it!

Be Well,

First, let me say that this is an excellent photo and I love what you have done with it. Beautiful!

I read this quote and then I read it again. I love the thought of hazarding the best of myself everyday ,and in fact, I suppose this is what I write about on my own blog. The more I think on this though, the deeper it’s meaning becomes to me. See, I am currently still working at a job (though that will change in the future!). I get up at 5am and get home at 7pm. I get home, I eat dinner, maintain a relationship, work on a course I’m studying, work out, work on my blog, and get to bed around 11pm. That makes for an 18 hour day Monday-Friday. There are days that I am tempted to not give my all and there have been days when I didn’t. I always feel terrible on the days that I know I didn’t give my best. So my daily goal is to give my all. I don’t want to reach the end of my life, whenever that may be, and look back and wonder what I could have done if I had only give my all. So I can think of myself as a dandelion seed, being guided by the winds of life and where I land I will bloom.

Life is way too short ,and to me, the hazard comes when I do not give my very best.

Thanks for this great reminder Lori

My neighbor is 94 and such an inspiration. He takes everyday like a new adventure and always has an awesome, funny story to tell me. I love your story about the 95-yr old woman, too, and how she is blogging to connect. That is just wonderful!! It really touched me, Tess.

So, you just keep on going, Tess, keep up your blog. You’re just starting – and just think where you’ll be when you’re 95!

Thanks for adding to the conversation, Tess. I love it when you visit.

And, you hit the nail on the head, Steven, …nothing is ever too late while we’re alive.
Yes, indeed!

Thank you for visiting and I appreciate you, too, Steven. Have a great week!

I loved your take on this, too. Thank you. I certainly have days where I think my joye de vivre won’t ever end, then I have a string of bad days and realize that when those good days show up that I need to make the best of them.

Hope all is well with you, too!

A 95 year old Hispanic woman started a blog and wrote everyday to her family. All her relatives left comments for her each time she posted. Is that amazing or what. What life they breathed into her in her final years.

For me personally, I just feel a great deal of connection as a human being after I saw this picture. I also feel very inspired and motivated because I am reminded by that picture that nothing is ever too late while we are alive.

Thank you for this great message Lori, really appreciate it!

Steven

That is a beautiful picture and quote. Thank you so much for sharing both with all of us.

As for my interpretation, it just seems to state that we have to give our best at every moment because inevitably this journey will end. We may think we have forever but we really do not. Today could be our last day or it can happen twenty years from now. So the best thing to do is to make the best of where we are and to give our best to life. It may require risk but so what. There are no guarantees in life so there is no sense in playing it safe especially if we are going to leave at some point.

Hope all is awesome!
