She has said it to me so much over the years; sometimes I even stop myself from wishing our lives away. It is hard sometimes to do, but so important to live every day for today. Another great saying a friend told me was, "live everyday like it is your last, one day it will be, and you will be prepared."Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938287202761607041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-256911450791990581.post-13280234732164126092011-03-18T07:33:33.310-04:002011-03-18T07:33:33.310-04:00Good case in point.
