{ “May You Live Everyday of Your Life.” ~ Johnathan Swift :: Art Print, available on Etsy in February 2013 }
I hope you live every single day of your life, and that you’re not just holding out for the weekends, or the “special days” because every day that you are alive and breathing is a special day, indeed! I hope you wear your favorite perfume and sun dress and that you put on those dangly earrings that make you feel special and that you don’t save the good bubble bath or the chinaware and crystal for special occasions only, because if you have breath in you today, today IS that special day. And don’t just kill time EVER, because time is precious so please, please don’t waste it doing things you abhor or that offend your spirit unless you absolutely have to and then, do it out of necessity as an act of worship, offering it up to God to use as a holy sacrifice to accomplish His good. This is the way to live a life of purpose and meaning even if you aren’t where you want to be yet, even if you live in a cubicle from 9-5 and your dreams seem so far away. They are closer today than they were yesterday, and we are also one day closer to meeting our maker, so let that thought sober you into living already; no more waiting for this or that.
This is my wish for you—and for me— may you live everyday of your life.
This, and all of the prints in the “30 Days of Handlettering Series” will be available soon in my Etsy shop in a variety of colors! :) Stay tuned!
