When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."

impetuously adv. 激烈地
Stop sweating the small stuff. Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what. Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us. Let's think about what God has blessed us with and what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually.
bless v. 祝福、保佑　　promote n. 促進(jìn)、提升
Life is too short to let it pass you by. We only have one shot at this and then it's gone. I hope you all have a blessed day.
