This past week week the entertainment world experienced the loss of Ed McMahon, Farrah Faucett and Michael Jackson. In the aftermath of the shock and cushioning the mourning is the celebration of life, of what these entertainers left behind - their legacy. How wonderful it is that we can look back and see this legacy despite whatever troubles and tribulations each of these entertainers faced during life.
This week really is a reminder to question ourselves about the lives we are living. It is a reminder that at any moment our lives could end. Are we living our lives the way we want to be remembered? Are we showing others we celebrate the joy of life each and every day? Are we leaving a legacy to future generations? It's hard to celebrate life when the wolf is at the door and times are tough but through that the greatest blessing is to celebrate life each and every moment despite its ups and downs!
