"I was very happy when Kris Allen won American Idol. I&amp;#x27;m a big fan of Adam Lambert as well, but Kris has a soothing voice I could listen to for hours. I&amp;#x27;ve been playing his new song, &amp;quot;Live Like We&amp;#x27;re Dying,&amp;quot; on repeat because it&amp;#x27;s so catchy, and it has such a great message. It&amp;#x27;s making me rethink how I live my life...Do you ever feel so stressed out that you wish the day would be over? There are some weeks where I feel like a robot going through the motions of life. I&amp;#x27;ll be so overwhelmed by work and after-work commitments that I neglect the people I love. I&amp;#x27;ll actually forget to call my mom (and I already told you I typically talk to her at least four times a day), and I&amp;#x27;ll barely have a conversation with Drew. Some nights, I get home so late that all I do is say goodnight to him before bed. I was listening to the lyrics from Kris Allen&amp;#x27;s new song, &amp;quot;Live Like We&amp;#x27;re Dying&amp;quot; (it&amp;#x27;s actually a cover of The Script&amp;#x27;s original song, and Kris does an amazing job on it), and they reminded me that whenever I feel overwhelmed, I need to force myself to take a break. If I don&amp;#x27;t pay attention to the wonderful people in my life, I&amp;#x27;ll regret it later. I especially love the chorus when he sings: We only got 86 400 seconds in a day, To turn it all around or throw it all away We gotta tell &amp;#x27;em that we love &amp;#x27;em while we got the chance to say, Gotta live like we&amp;#x27;re dying Jobs are important, but they shouldn&amp;#x27;t rule your world, and for some reason, this song has the power to snap me out of my zombie-workaholic-mode every time I listen to it. Do you ever get so stressed out that you neglect the people who are most important to you? How often do you tell those people you love them? Do you think that you&amp;#x27;re living your life to the fullest&amp;amp;mdash;that you&amp;#x27;re living like you&amp;#x27;re dying? And what do you think of Kris Allen&amp;#x27;s new song? P.S.
