Improve every shining moment!

Today when i got home from school i raced to the fridge got myself a banana flavored popsicle and made my way to the lap top sitting in the living room...for what reason you may ask... well to check my Facebook of course :) while i was debating what my next "inspirational" statues would be my mom walked over to me and handed me an newspaper with a quote on it that said "We are asked to not merely pass the time but to improve every shining moment, for eternity is composed of such fleeting moments."~John S. Tanner. I have yet to decide what the real reason is for my strong feeling towards this simple quote. It might just be because my mom thought i might enjoy it or because its something i really needed to hear but I thought it was something that should be posted. In my 17 years of life i have learned the importance of living to the fullest and taking every minute for what its worth. I may be young but i have watched life escape from those who were young, and old and i have grown up and watched my life blink before my eyes and sat there wishing i could of treasured those years a little bit longer. Life is not just to be alive but to improve upon day by day. So you can look back and be happy with the places you have gone, the people you have meet, and the impact you have made.! :) Improve every shining moment!!!
