enjoy life today....

It's been a crazy week.

It amazes me when a few words can hit you and make you open your eyes a bit. I feel I go through life, going through the same motions trying to reach a goal that is down the road. I don't really take the time to stop, look around and really see what's in front of me. Time flies fast enough when you have kids, but it feels like such a blur. Yesterday, Randy and I had a moment where we were smacked by some simple words.

I can't tell you what the exact words were; that's what makes it so powerful. We were attending Randy's uncles funeral. Sitting in the front row, listening to people try to explain what Jack had meant to them. We were wiping away tears and holding on for comfort. We both walked away with the same feeling. We have to stop today and enjoy what we have.

It's important to have long term goals - that is what keeps us focus. But we also have to try to live in today. Don't wait till next week, next month or next year to do what we really want to do. We need to remember what is real to us. What matters most; if we follow that line, everything will be fall into place. Our time here is so short, so unknown. Live today as if it's your last. Easy to say, but hard to do. We hope to take something away from this sudden loss and turn it into a positive.
