My mother in law celebrates her 75th birthday
this month. Her words of wisdom to us, "at 75 years old the only
thing that matters is family, everything else is superfluousness."
She has enjoyed her 75 years of family gatherings from when she was a
child to the present day, traveling Europe, the Amazon, and all over the United
States. She has had a successful career. She raised three awesome
children (one of which is my husband), has witnessed the family grow by
marriages and births and lost loved ones by death. Why did I choose to
write about her? Well, John Maxwell said "nothing is more encouraging and
motivating than to be around an enthusiastic person." He was
discussing his father on one of his "Minutes with Maxwell “and stated his
father was living till he died. Live till you die. He said
"there are people who are living but they have already died....It's a
choice. Look at the positive of life, when you enjoy what you are doing
people enjoy being around you." I think she has enjoyed and
continues to enjoy living. She always said to us when she was traveling
that if she died while on a trip for us not to worry or cry as she enjoyed her
life and she was living it to the fullest. Enjoy your life and choose to live!!!!!
If you have questions or are struggling to enjoy
life, please contact Amy Cole, M.S.,LPC, aka The Bucket Lady at LTCC.
