My grandson and I went to see the movie Christopher Robin yesterday.
Spoiler alert you will need tissues for about the first 10 minutes.
Christopher Robin is all grown up now.
He has a wife and a child and a job that is demanding and takes a lot of his time.
After disappointing his wife and daughter with the news that he will not be able to go on their weekend holiday, Christopher explains that “it’s necessary to work all those hours for a better future life.”
Mrs. Robin replies
“Don’t wait to live a better life someday
This is your life
You are living it right now
It’s right in front of you.”
As I sat in a theater on Tuesday afternoon with my little guy, when I could have been doing so many other things her statement touched my heart deeply and reminded me of what’s really important.
Life consists of a series of moments many and few. Some of those moments only come around once
But we should take the time to enjoy all of them. Live the life that is right in front of us.
Those who love us will not remember us for our accomplishments at work or even by how much we were able to provide for them even though hopefully they will appreciate it.
No they will remember us for the time we spent with them.
I needed to be reminded of that.
Maybe today you do as well.
Life is to be lived today.
