"Each Day is a Gift and Not a Given Right"

If i created a bumper sticker to represent my philosophy of life, it would read "each day is a gift and not a given right."

I have lost many people in my life and have learned to cherish what's important to me and not take advantage of every blessing I have. Three years ago, my good friend died in a car accident. She was always so full of excitement and really lived her life to the fullest. Losing her taught me to do the same. Even though things can get really rough, i thank God just to be alive. I've realized that I have a purpose in life, and as long as I am here I will embrace it. I no longer take for granted the people who are in my life. I tell my friends and family I love them all the time and I try to be there for everyone when they need me. There's always light at the end of the tunnel and I enjoy the way I live my life with no regrets.
