Live Like You Were Dying

Thanks to last night's message at church and the showing of this video during the message I was handed today's song! I'm hoping I would have eventually remembered it on my own because I do love this song, love the message of it, and I like Tim McGraw so it's a win-win-win all the way around for me!

How do you live your days? In safe ways? Unwilling to take risks because of fear or insecurity or "comfort"? What regrets might you have if you died today and saw that you lived your whole life safe? I'm not a risk taker. It makes me feel uncomfortable. But in my 30's I have started to learn how to take some risks and enjoy them! I love this song because it reminds us to take the risks and avoid possible regrets.

None of us are guaranteed tomorrow so today live like you were dying.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here . Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
