Happy Ruminations

If today was your last day what would you do? 
Where would you go? 
Who would you see? 
If today was your last day, what would you leave your loved ones as your legacy? 
Would you smile, would you laugh? Would you have the perfect day? 
If today was your last day in this amazing world, would you face your fears and
 take those risks and hold your loved ones near?
Would you forget old insults and injuries and right old wrongs?
Would you let yourself be vulnerable and let someone else be strong?
If today was your last day would you spend it in the sand by the sea?
What would you want to remember for all eternity?
We never know what lies in the horizon so we try to live each day as if it's the last 
Life has a way of moving really fast.
Imperfectly imperfect;
Sometimes we get a glimpse of a slice of heaven when light shines in and everything is just right 
Imperfectly perfect it is,
If today was your last day would it need to be set so perfectly? 
Or would love, laughter and life and memories be Enough?
If today was your last day, why are you wasting it on ruminating and contemplating and just thinking about what you want to do?
If today was my last day, I'd make all my dreams come true.
