Congratulations.
If you are reading this post, you are alive.
Do you feel alive? Truly alive? Do you wake each morning excited, wondering what amazing things the day will bring, or do you merely go through the motions with no passion and zero enjoyment? While days disappear, do you wait for your life to begin?
Things will be better next year…when I get married or buy my dream house or publish a book.
We aren’t guaranteed five more seconds.
If you knew you only had one year to live, what would you do?
Still reading?
Guess what? You’re still alive.

This was written for the Write Tribe 100 Words on Saturday. (Write exactly 100 words on the prompt – a story, a poem, a mini-essay). This week’s prompt: Truly Alive.
Love your post, Talya! Simple, direct and powerful.
Thank you so much:))
So foten we postpone happiness on the consideration that once we achieve something we will start living. The truth is the moment to be alive is today…now!
Very nice Talya!
Yes we are always waiting until the wait is over…

Liked your opening line and a very positive one full of gratitude to be alive and healthy. nice take on the prompt
cool blog, great point!
Reconsidered the ‘Alive’ part this morning, looking out over the lake for one last time in the early a.m., with fog rolling across it, thinking maybe I was in heaven. Oh well,back to home and reality.
🙂 I know you had a great time at the lake. Next time!
Wonderful post! We should live each day with gusto!
Agree. Running after future happiness, neglecting the ones that we have now. We need to start living in the moment.
sometimes it’s hard to see what’s right in front of us.
Very rightly said. We live for waiting for great days of life missing precious seconds. Loved reading the post.
This post is an inspiration. Thank you for this one:)
Thank you for your comment.
Very inspiring and true. We should value every precious second because we truly are alive and that is a blessing!
Yes, so true. And time is rushing by, isn’t it?

There was a time when I kept postponing living. Not anymore. Now I’m thankful for every minute I get.
You too the prompt to another level, Talya! Thank you.
Thank you Corinne. I love 100 Words on SAturday! Keep ’em coming…
Truly wonderful to-the-point post. All of us must make the most of every living moment to call ourselves truly alive, don’t we.
Thank you. It’s easy to forget to live, isn’t it?
