Z is for Zest

Zest Great enthusiasm and energy.  The quality of being exciting or interesting, the outer part of the peel or an orange, lemonI love life, knowing that I can make a difference.  We have the opportunity to make the world that we live in more beautiful, not just for theprivileged few, but for all.  We have just one life to live and we have to grab it with both hands and shake it from time to time.  We have been given so many opportunities, and experiences that our life has to mean something, impact in a good way, going on to helpothers grow and develop.  We shouldn't be satisfied with hiding behind closed doors letting our talents and abilities shrivel up, but really appreciate each day, hour and minute, making it and being the best we can.  
I am amazed at how quickly this month has gone by, with this the last post for the A-Z April 2013 Challenge, I will probably do a reflection post over the next few days about the experience, will just let the dust settle a bit first.  It has been great being able to visit so many blogs, still got a few to go....
I celebrate the zest I have for my life and all that I can do to bless others.  What is it in your life that excites you?
