Monday Morning Mantra 1/11

Good morning dears,
Last week I was rocked by news of a good friend passing away, and it left me in a bit of a fog. I went through a slew of emotions - shock, emptiness, pain, and then calm. At the funeral service on Saturday, the pastor talked about what a full life my friend, Marina, had lived. She was so vibrant and full of laughter, she never took things too seriously, and she was a loving wife and mother.

This week's Mantra reminds us to live life to the fullest. Don't merely exist. Be alive!

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I have not lived."

--
Henry David Thoreau
