Today's Ash Wednesday and hearing everyone talk about their 40 days without (insert favorite type of food, candy, soda, social networking site here) has got me thinking...40 days can seem like a really long time, but what about the opposite?
What if you went to the doctor today and she or he said, "You have 40 days to live."
Forty days would seem like the blink of an eye. As the shortness of the time frame sinks into your very core, you think of all the things you've always wanted to do and planned on "getting around to" but still haven't done and now may never get to. You just want to scream that you're not done yet. You have so much you want to do still.
It's time to prioritize. Things that truly matter and echo for all eternity in...the other stuff, not so much. As I think of the many, many times I've tried and failed to do this, I know how much easier said than done this is. Clearly my mindset needs changed....and so it begins.
