Life's too short not to seize every minute of it. We have a limited time to live, so we might as well do it right. We live day to day in familiar routines and almost every one of us takes each day for granted. The scary thing is that we have no idea when our last day could come. That's the thing about life; it really is short, and we should be living each day as if it is our last (no matter how cliche that sounds). Here are 42 ways to seize each day.

1. Listen to your favorite song.

2. Roll the windows down and turn the music up for each car ride.

3. Read. Read a book or a magazine, just read.

4. Tell the people you love that you love them.

5. Smile at strangers.

6. Give until you can't and then give some more.

7. Sit in the sun, or dance in the rain.

8. Cuddle with your pet (or a stranger's).

9. Eat your favorite food.

10. Sit back and really enjoy each bite of food.

11. Go on a walk or ride a bike.

12. Take a second to enjoy nature and its beauty.
