I don’t usually watch much TV.   However, the other night I did make  a point to take an hour and watch Barbara Walters’ interview with Patrick Swayze.

When I was through watching I couldn’t help but feel so inspired by this man’s strength and desire for LIFE!  Here is a guy who is dealing with one of the worst kinds of cancers a person can have, he has no idea how much longer he has to live and he is living, DOING more than most healthy people I know.  If only we ALL could be as determined as Swayze to LIVE life to its fullest, day in and day out.  Think how much we would accomplish!

He made a good point when he stated “we’re all going to die”.  That is so true.  So why shouldn’t we all LIVE while life is still there to live it?

I’m sure if Swayze hadn’t committed himself to his project “The Beast” he wouldn’t have been sitting there talking to Barbara Walters.  His desire to do that TV show is a big part of what has kept him living.

Tonight I was saddened to learn that Swayze has checked into the hospital with a case of pneumonia.  Although that is not a good sign, I’m hoping he finds the same strength and love of life he has had up to this point to get through this setback.

Whether it be two minutes, two hours, two days, two weeks, two months or two years to live..we should all try to get out there and live it.
