Seize the Day

I know a girl who was schooled in Manhattan
She reads dusty books and learns phrases in Latin
She is an author, or maybe a poet
A genius but it’s just this world doesn’t know it
She works on her novel most every day
If you laugh she will saySeize the day, seize whatever you can
‘Cause life slips away just like hourglass sand
Seize the day, pray for grace from God’s hand
Then nothing will stand in your way
Seize the day
Carolyn Arends
Yesterday I spent a good part of the morning talking with Allan and Ange about seizing the day. As Allan writes in his own post on the subject, he’d been to the doctor’s earlier that day and in one of the conversations that come about when your medical practitioner is as much friend as doctor, was told to stop wasting his talents and seize the day.
Last Thursday, I was invited by Dr. Mani to participate in an exciting blog group. I spent Thursday night evaluating myself and my goals, not wanting to join the group and be an anchor, but also recognizing one of those open doors that comes along every so often in life, offering us opportunity as long as we’re brave enough to step through. Then, while cleaning out some clutter this weekend, I discovered a CD with one of my very favorite songs on it, Seize the Day by Carolyn Arends.
So, while Allan told about his doctor’s visit, I was ready to share the YouTube video of the song.
Do you ever have one of those moments where it feels like everything comes together for a purpose?
