You haven’t lived until:
You have a mosquito fly into the receiver of your hearing aid. (Think F-17 Cobra landing on your bald spot.);
You find yourself in a stuck elevator with a woman you’ve never seen before while she is having a baby;
You meet a male lion in the hallway of your hotel;
You find an 8 ft. boa constrictor coming out of your toilet bowl;
You find yourself in a knife fight and you don’t have a knife;
Or you drop 4 floors while on top of an elevator cab.
Now you can fill in the blank. You haven’t lived until you… _________________
You haven’t lived till you’ve seen a double rainbow on the Na Pali Coast of Kauai.
WOW. I’ll bet that is true.
You haven’t lived unless you have shed tears of joy.
You haven’t lived unless you have loved enough to know grief.
You haven’t lived unless you have laughed so hard that you needed to change underwear.
Excellent points, Charlotte. May we all have such a life.
Thanks for sharing that, Lynn. We all have some rain in our lives, but it sounds like you got more than your share.
You haven’t lived until you have survived cancer, losing spleen, right kidney, female organs. You haven’t lived until you have gone hungry 3-4 days eating mustard sandwiches, with moldy bread. You haven’t lived till you survive on just $2 dollars in your wallet for a week. You haven’t lived till at the age of 13, you discovered your mothers lifeless body 8 hours after dying. You haven’t lived till you handle 8 dead body calls in less than two weeks working patrol. You haven’t lived till you turn to God and ask for forgiveness and know that you are loved and never abandoned.
Thanks Ken, this will open a lot of dialogue i am certain. God Bless
And I thought Ken had set a high bar…
