A simple statement yet so much soulfulness at hand.  As much as we feel our life is mundane there is so much to be grateful for each day and each night of our lives.  Sometimes we only realise how extraordinary and magical our experiences are until we come to the last chapter, experience our last class of the course attended, last day of the holidays, play the last chords or notes of a musical piece - even our final days leading up to our last breath. In Elisabeth Kubler-Ross & David Kesslers' Life Lessons, both share 'There is a saying that every time a baby is born, God has decided that the world will continue.  In the same way, every day you wake up, you've been given another day of life to experience.  When was the last time you fully experienced that day?' Both experts on death and dying, sharing we are extraordinary, and that the ordinary is extraordinary.  In the many cases Elisabeth and David have experienced in those dying, it is the most mundane, the simple that is missed - it is not the overtime, the office hours nor the bank accounts.  We forget the profoundness of life we have been gifted and in the cases shared in Life Lessons we only realise and remember the sacredness of life on our deathbeds or in tragic experiences. We have six beautiful children and the birth of our twin girls was miraculous and perfect as can be.  Then I haemorrhaged incredibly to the point I lost three quarters of my body's blood supply.  As the doctor and nurses raced me to theatre and gave me the 'you may not make it speech' I was trying to cope with the news, the blur of events, and whilst slowly fading the thoughts that were racing through my head like no tomorrow.  It was the things I had not done that brought on the tears - I hadn't said goodbye to my children at home one last time even holding them one last time. The beauty is we have been given the 'gifts of time' as Brian Tracy shares.  As we start trekking down the path of the mundane - seek the extraordinary in your life, the miraculous, the sacred.  Our lives are sacred.  Let every precious moment be filled with love, a sense of wonderment, purpose, meaning and gratitude.  Love the life you have been gifted. 'Don't wait for one last look at the ocean, the sky, the stars, or a loved one.  Go look now.' ~ Life Lessons
