the dash

i received a really great email once that referred to the dash as 'the line between the dates of your birth and death' ~ essentially, the dash represents your life. your time on earth. i really love this concept. it makes you stop and think about how you view that *time*.

how are you spending your dash?
are the people that will be left behind when you leave this earth going to be able to speak about your dash the way you'd like it to be spoken of?
are you filling your dash with love, and living?

i recently posted about the one little word reading that i had seen on another blog i visit. my word i had chosen was enjoy. i am adding a word.

dash.

i like what it represents, and i like the feeling i have when i hear it. typically, dash refers to moving quickly, running. i do that. often. everyone is busy that has young children, and dash will mean a similar something to everyone with that description.

i am looking at it as the 'time between my birth and death'. i want to live for each moment, and seize the day. i want to leave an impression, a mark, if you will, that makes me happy to have been the producer of said mark. i want my dash to be full of life.

life that i will enjoy.

dashing.
