Seizing The Day. Making the Most Out of Your Life.

by Heather McLaughlin

I recently watched the movie “Last Holiday” starring Queen Latifah, and thought it was a pretty good flick.

The main character, Georgia Burns, works in a department store as a sales clerk. In fact she’s the best salesperson in the entire store.

But when she takes a fall and is diagnosed with a rare terminal disease, and finds that her company insurance won’t cover her treatment she decides to “live” the rest of her days.

She cashes in her life savings, and quits her second rate job to fulfill her dreams.

The heads to a posh resort in Europe to to enjoy massages, fine foods, and press her limits by base diving and downhill skiing. She pushes herself further than she thought she could ever go.

Her book of “possibilities” start becoming realities.

I won’t give away the ending, but this film made me think about how important it is to live your life to fullest every day. Don’t give up on a dream because you’re too busy doing other things.
Otherwise you might just find that your life gets behind you, and you’re left thinking about the
“Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda”

So my question to you is “what would you do if you only had 3 months to live?”
How would you live differently?
