I received the below from a girlfriend...and I had to share! As I prepare to leave for a week long trip to LONDON, and conclude a horrific 36 hours at Children's Hospital for my sweet niece...yes, my loVe bug was very sick...but now much better...Life is a gift. And, it is always worth living...with fine wine, monogrammed towels, and pretty napkins. I promise.
If there were one gift I could give to you, it would be the gift of living. Not the one-foot-in-front-of-the-other kind of living, but the kind that comes with a connoisseur's appreciation for everything it has to offer, from one colorful, exotic end of the spectrum to the other.
LIFE, savor it, with gilded frame painted perspectives by masters in any medium or crayon colored canvases that freeze shapshot impressions of innocence.
LIFE, drink it up, in cut crystal, not-just-for-company goblets glowing with crimson, velvety vintages that bathe the palate in luxuriance or in hand-thrown pottery mugs teaming with steamy, creamy chocolaty goodness, each sip more precious than the last.
LIFE, embrace it, swathed in the softness of textiles and trimmings that comfort and caress it, like the touch of the gentlest, loving hands
LIFE, revel in it, with no-occasion parties and for no reason in particular except for the sheer joy of it presents you, give to yourself.
LIFE, bask in it, illuminated by the light of one, exquisite chandelier or the flame of one flickering candle whose rich scent envelopes you in tranquility.
LIFE, bathe in it, with tubs of iridescent mountains of crystalline bubbles and fragrances, potions and lotions that intoxicate at the touch.
This is my wish for you; delve into, don't just dabble in, the art of living and create a masterpiece life that's framed in joyfulness, laughter and love.
