  • Just as I was preparing to come home for lunch, I learned a co-worker of mine died suddenly...just an hour before I found out. He was so nice and always had a smile and kind things to say to everyone. I am once again made to realize how quickly lives can change. Literally in a heartbeat.

    I took him for granted...somedays barely smiling in response to his greeting...and yet he ALWAYS had a smile and a hello. Now, I won't ever get to see that smile again or hear his gentle greetings.

    It is true, that we should live each day as if it was our last...we need to love and cherish each other, even when we disagree on things...embrace our differences and as well as those things we have in common. We need to do the things we keep putting off...dreams...fantasies...life...be it because we don't have the time...the money ...or we are afraid...cause tomorrow may never come...

    I love you all so much...I know I say it alot, but it is important that you all know how very important you are to me and my life.

    As hard as today has been, it has been a life-affirming day, also. I have always enjoyed my life...for the most part, despite the occasional down/dark times, I have had a good life...but I see now I haven’t really LIVED my life...

    I do believe that is going to change... *sighs*
