Oh my goodness...so many sad stories. What a week it has been! A friends old feline friend disappears without a trace, my brother becomes sick & is unable to fly home, our cat falls ill with some mysterious illness, on foreign shores an earthquake hits Haiti and thousands are killed, on Australian shores 3 children holidaying with their parents become orphans when their parents drown in the surf at Ballina as they watch on and then news of a friends friend whose life was taken much too soon. So much tragedy within the space of a few days.
It is times like this that I take stock & realise how very fortunate I am. It's also times like this that I realise that those everyday things that we stress about are really not worthy of all that time & worry. Tragedy can hit anyone at anytime & although it would not be healthy to be thinking this all way all the time,I think it is important that we realize this so as to make the most of everyone & everything, never taking things for granted.
Every breath is life giving!
Every day is a gift!
The morn of every tomorrow is a blessing!
It brings to mind a quote I heard once...
"You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width & its depth ... its not the years of your life but rather the life in your years!
