Gary and I went to our high school's play this weekend.  "Our Town" was the presentation and I had never seen this particular performance before.  It was well done by the students and I was in awe of it's message.  Basically, we need to appreciate life as we know it this side of heaven because we never know when our time will be completed here on earth and once it is finished, we can't return.  I thought this message was particularly ironic.

I use the term ironic because I've been writing this month about my breast cancer experiences.  Since that encounter I have lived my life differently.  I am no longer hesitant about going, doing or living.  I go with Gary on business trips, visit family and friends whenever I can and spend as much time as possible with my children.  I've read Erma Bombeck's list of things she would do over and am convinced it doesn't matter if I have an opportunity to put on makeup or have my hair blow in the wind.  What matters is how I spend every minute of every day....and I want to spend those moments with the people I love and do the things God has called me to do so when my time to leave this earth occurs, I'll have no regrets and never look back over my shoulder.  Hopefully, God will then say, "well done, my good and faithful servant....enter..."
