A Theme Song

My husband really likes the new Nickelback cd that was just released. So of course, as good of a wife as I am, I downloaded it for him and created a cd as well as put the music on my iPod. With that said, last night he was telling me he really likes the song "If Today was Your Last Day." Today on my way to work, I was listening to my iPod and the song came on. Wow. Those lyrics are actually quite powerful, and sends a strong message. I couldn't help but think of our journey to parenthood and how great that song actually fit with the trials that have been placed before us. While this journey seems so long for a baby (at least for us), sometimes I think that I have forgotten to live my life by enjoying the precious blessings God has already given me. First and foremost, my God has saved me from a life of emptiness and despair (obvious right?). Next, he has blessed me with an amazingly supportive and loving husband, whom I would have never made it through the loss if it weren't for him being by my side (sometimes cracking jokes to try to make me smile). He has also blessed me with such wonderful parents and in-laws! I love them dearly and they would give their right hand for me to be happy. There are many other things that I could go on and on about regarding the blessings God has given, but for now, I will leave you with the lyrics to the enlightening song, "If Today was Your Last Day."

My best friend gave me the best advice. He said each day's a gift and not a given right. Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind. And try to take the path less traveled by. That first step you take is the longest stride.
If today was your last day, and tomorrow was too late, could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past, donate every dime you have? If today was your last day.
Against the grain should be a way of life. What's worth the prize is always worth the fight. Every second counts 'cause there's no second try, so live like you'll never live it twice. Don't take the free ride in your own life.
If today was your last day, and tomorrow was too late, could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past, donate every dime you have? Would you call old friends you never see? Reminisce of memories? Would you forgive your enemies? Would you find that one you're dreamin' of? Swear up and down to God above that you finally fall in love. If today was your last day.
If today was your last day, would you make your mark by mending a broken heart? You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars. Regardless of who you are, so do whatever it takes 'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life. Let nothin' stand in your way 'Cause the hands of time are never on your side.
If today was your last day, and tomorrow was too late, could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past, donate every dime you have? Would you call old friends you never see? Reminisce of memories? Would you forgive your enemies? Would you find that one you're dreamin' of? Swear up and down to God above that you finally fall in love. If today was your last day.
