Put Us In Our Place

Today --- We're Still Alive

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

Love and Life is so Precious

“You may be tired

and exhausted,

but at least you woke up today.

Someone else didn’t”

This is a good reminder

for all of us

to remember

every day.

Life Itself

is

Extremely Precious.

And in our busy lives,

we don’t always remember this.

When we’re moving on

in everyday life,

we can sometimes ‘complain’

because things are just not going our way,

and this is understandable,

especially when we work so hard.

But —

this quote really does

put us in our place.

Whilst we’re complaining

because “-----”,

someone is in hospital,

dying of cancer (or some other illness).

We wake up the next day,

ready to complain about something else,

whilst that person died in the night,

never to see their loved ones again,

in this world.

It comes down to

Appreciating Life.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
