We live in a crazy world where an instant makes the difference of a lifetime, or even of a life. We live in a world where senseless things happen. We live in a world that can drastically change overnight.
This is nothing new; I think we’ve known this all our lives. But some days we forget. We let down our guard. We live as though every day is a guarantee. We live complacently until some sudden unexpected event jostles us back into the reality of the world we live in. We see with eyes that we’ve used our whole lives but rarely ever truly seen with. We realize how much we have to be grateful for but have taken for granted: the family that loves us regardless of how we may let them down or even hurt them; the breath you just took, that you are releasing slowly back into the air right now; the life that was lengthened by the breath you just took.
We live in a world where every breath is a gift, every day is a blessing. We live in a world where all the anticipation and preparation we do only goes so far. We live in a crazy world.
But we live.

I agree. I'm glad that we are following each other's blogs...its nice to have the sort of friend who you know will lead you into great places, and the sort who trusts you enough to follow! :) Thanks for being that type of friend. I'm meeting up with Juli Giselle, Josh and Sean tonight...I am almost wondering if a Glaim will show! :) Take care.
