Day 3 - Lessons from Mr. Bozo

Yesterday I witnessed the funeral of an 84 year old man known as Mr. Bozo...That's what they called him! He was a man of fun and faith, who lived a life of passion and purpose. Isn't that awesome? To get to the end of your journey, and discover that you truly made a difference is living life to the full. I must make a difference with the life I've been privileged to receive. So often I play it safe; LIMITED RISK - LITTLE FAITH - LOWLY AMBITION! How sad... Through his life and death, Mr. Bozo taught me to 'seize the day' - the moment - the time! Person after person testified that Mr. Bozo always left his encounters with a smile. Are people better off from having made contact with me? I must, therefore, love better, listen more, talk nicer, serve greater, and laugh often!

I pray that like Mr. Bozo I'm able to teach with my life, and even more with my death...

Thanks, Mr. Bozo
