What I have Learned Lately…

November 7, 2009

(This post contains photos of a skinned elk and may not be enjoyable for everyone.)

Life is entirely too short…

Death means life…

Life means death…

Because others die, we get to live.

When we are young we can’t wait to be old…

When we are old we wish we were young…

Rarely are we content in the moment.

Every moment is part of the story…

Relationships are the most important part of the story.

If we make time for the relationships we love… in the end we will have a better story.

I love this blog post.
I’ve never thought photos of a skinned animal were as interesting… or the story so true.
