Life means so much.

Every day is a bank account

And time is our currency

So nobody's rich, nobody's poor

We get 24 hours each

So how are you gonna spend?

Will you invest or squander?

Try to get ahead?

Or help someone who's under?

Teach us to count the days

Teach us to make the days count

Lead us in better ways

That somehow our souls forgot

Life means so much

Life means so much

Life means so much.

- Chris Rice

All it took for me to appreciate the gift of life I've been so graciously given was to watch these two kiddos and their puppy for a little while. They don't stress about their schedule or a mile-high to-do list. They just live in the moment and find joy in the littlest things... a fistful of grass, the invitation of a sunny afternoon, a dripping popsicle. What a lesson.
