Life, Like Coffee, Is Good to the Last Drop

Some advertisements for products stay with us for a long, long time. That proves they were pretty effective ads.

One of those was for Maxwell House Coffee. "It's good to the last drop" consumers were told.  I never forgot that and hubs still drinks Maxwell House coffee.

These days, I've applied the coffee slogan to flowers!

Every time a rose bouquet graces our table, each blossom is treasured until the last moment of its life.


Then, when a rose can no longer hold up her head, it is snipped with a pair of scissors.

It is then placed in a little glass dish for a few more days of splendor.

Only when the rose can no longer be called living does it get removed from sight.

This preserving of roses until the last possible moment makes me think of human life, itself.

We must treasure each week, day, and moment of life.

We only get one shot at it so we have to make it the best we can.

Today, I hope you enjoy each moment of the precious gift of life.

PLEASE SHARE ONE ASPECT OF LIFE YOU TRULY APPRECIATE.

The Preciousness of Life

As one gets older, the preciousness of life becomes more and more apparent.

Each day we have is truly a gift.

For many years of our lives we are so busy that we really don't even see the beauty that surrounds us.

We run, run, run, trying to make money, check off "to do" lists and get as much  crammed into our days as possible.

However, the fact that we are alive is, in itself, of utmost importance.

Whatever we can share with others on this journey through life is joyful.

Today, on this most treasured Sunday, I wish you awareness of the brevity of our time on earth.

WHAT IS SOMETHING OF BEAUTY YOU SEE RIGHT NOW?
