Those Moments.....
Friday, September 17, 2010 at 7:10AM 
Yesterday, I was told two pieces of tragic, life-changing news! Two separate things that took my breath away & really hurt my heart!
I've always been an optimist! I've always been one to squeeze every bit of goodness of life! And I've always been someone who holds on tight to the people I love most! But.....every now & then, you have those moments, like this and this.....that really make you look deeply into your soul & your life & the people around you! It's sad that it takes tragedy & sickness to make us appreciate life more.....but it does! They're our little wake-up calls to CHERISH EVERYDAY....to live in the moment....to live the LIFE that WE want.....to be kind......to live fully.....to live beautifully......to be BETTER everyday.......to never take LIFE for granted.....that health is almost EVERYTHING......and to treasure the special people around us!
So...to all those people in my life who make each day a little brighter, each experince more magical & each year more memorable....I say THANK YOU! You all make my life complete & you make me so HAPPY!
Have you told someone today that you LOVE them & appreciate them?
