Each second that passes by is one you’ll never get back
December 1st. Swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. Warm in the shallows I’m tickled by shoals of small fish. As I revel in the aliveness of the experience, a young man shouts to his partner ‘this is absolutely THE life!’ Laughing, she replies, ‘enjoying every second!’
There’s a life key. Some of my beloved American friends (others too) will remember one of my best-loved Seals and Croft songs – We will never pass this way again. It’s not so much that we may never revisit somewhere. We might. But the song, like this joy-filled couple, invites me to live every passing second to the full, for this is THE life.
There lies the celebration – and the challenge – fully live each moment..xx

I was marveling just this morning that it’s already December of 2016. Seems like just a week or so ago we were ringing in this new year. Time is precious, and oh so fleeting. Must appreciate every moment we are given. Thank you for the nudge, dear Simon…. xox
