YESTERDAY, I wrote about how Beach2Battleship was a defining moment for me. Mainly because I believe that how you live each day is how you live your life.  I think I loved the day so much because it was a reflection of how I want to live my life everyday. 

The song below expresses more of what I mean. Check out the lyrics and the video, too. I love the lyrics in pink.


"Good To Be Alive"

Hold on
Is this really the life I'm living?
Cause I don't feel like I deserve it
Every day that I wake, every breath that I take You’ve given
So right here, right now
While the sun is shining down

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be alive, yeah

Hold on
If the life that we've been given
Is made beautiful in the living
And the joy that we get brings joy to the heart of the giver
Then right here, right now
This is the song I'm singing out

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow 
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be alive

I won’t take it for granted
I won’t waste another second
All I want is to give you
A life well lived, to say “thank you”


  
On race day, I felt like the life I was given was made beautiful in the living. I felt like I was loving and living on borrowed time.  The joy I received and experienced -  brought joy to the heart of the Giver. I was living like there was no tomorrow - taking a chance and taking a once-in-a-lifetime RISK.  A life well-lived. It's good to be alive!
