Be Thankful

Today I don’t feel that it is appropriate for me to bitch or moan about the hurt that I have experienced in my life. Instead I am using my voice on here to show my respect to the families and friends of the brave 29 miners who will never walk among us again. On Friday there was an explosion in a mine in New Zealand trapping 29 miners. 1 man from Scotland, 1 South African, 2 Australians and 25 New Zealanders, aged from 17 to 62. Yesterday there was a second explosion, which was followed by an announcement that there was no hope of any survivors. These men went to work the same as we all do. It was the first time underground for the young 17 year old. Another man had volunteered for 2 hours of overtime. These men did not make it home. My heart goes out to the families.
People may be predictable but life is not.
I used to have this Nickelback song as my ring tone.

If Today Was Your Last Day
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
