Live A Life That Matters

Ready or not,
Someday it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises,
No minutes, hours or days.
All the things you collected,
Whether treasured or forgotten,
Will pass to someone else.

Your wealth,
Fame and temporal power
Will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned
Or what you were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations,
And jealousies will finally disappear.

So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans,
And to-do lists will expire.
The wins and losses,
That once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came from,
Or on what side of the tracks you lived,
At the end.

It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.
Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.
So what will matter?
How will the value of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you bought,
But what you built;
Not what you've got,
But what you gave; What will matter is not your success,
But your significance.

What will matter is not what you learned,
But what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity,
Compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched,
Empowered or encouraged others,
To emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence,
But your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew,
But how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.

What will matter is not your memories,
But the memories that live in those who loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered,
By whom and for what.
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
You Mickey Mom chose to live a life that matters.

Wishing You A Wonderful Day!!

We've never met only spoken by phone, but the last 6 years I've come to know you, you've made it so easy to love you. We've been in Graphic groups together, Run a Web Site of lovely women members and even though we don't do those things anymore you have always remained a steadfast and an amazing friend.

When I was weak, you helped make me strong; when I was depressed and ready to throw the towel in, along popped an email from you at exactly the right time to make me feel blessed.

You have more energy and pazazz than any other woman I know of your years (even me lol) and are always there for your friends. If anyone deserved an amazing day today, it's you, my Mickey Mom from across the pond :) I Love you with all my heart and while I breathe will always be here for you too.

MWAH!!
