Life is Precious

So recently I had a friend get into a pretty serious car accident.  She was in the ICU for a couple of weeks, and is just now starting to show signs of recovery.  I miss her dearly, and am praying for a swift and safe healing process. 

 

That being said, life is precious.  You take for granted the time you are given, because the Earth continues to rotate on its axis, the sun rises and sets, the tides rise and fall, and the wind continues to blow.  But don’t take your life for granted.  You could be dead tomorrow.  Or tonight.  Or in thirty years.  But the point is be thankful for what you are given.  The breath in your lungs, the friends that surround you and love you.  The sun when it shines, the rain when it falls.  Birds when they sing, cats when the meow, dogs when they bark.  Your life. 

 

No matter how bad things seem to get, just remember, you could always be six feet under.  Give thanks for every day you are given, because they are all special.

 

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good."  ~ Unknown

 

That’s all for now.  I’ll try to start posting a little more often.  Writing soothes the soul.
