4,000 Weeks
4,000 weeks; 76 years, that’s what the average life span is (give or take of course). 76 years doesn’t sound so bad but when you think about it in weeks….4,000, well that hits a bit different.
I’ve already lived 2,552 weeks!! What?! I hope to live well past 76 but what will life be past 76 really? By the grace of the Divine it will be full and joyful.
If I had only 1,448 weeks of a full, active and capable life left how would I want to spend it? How do I want to walk through these next 1,448 weeks?
What would I want to learn?
Who would I want to serve?
What would I want to leave for my daughters?
What would I like to see?
Who would I want to surround myself with?
What feeling would I like to wake up to everyday?
Who would I want to thank?
Who would I want to care for?
In what ways would I like to be cared for?
What resources and divine talents have I been given that can effect change in the lives/places of others?
As I type out this list it makes me want to cry. I am getting emotional because this IS what I want my life to be, these ARE the questions I want to keep asking. They may change, they may stay the same but regardless of what they are, they MUST remain TRUE! So revisiting them is a good thing, it will be a necessary thing and it is one of the best ways that I can think of to be kind to myself.

These are beautiful questions and such a pivotal reminder 🙌
