Appreciate

Well today started out, different I guess. My friend at work sent us an e-mail this morning about a girl she knew in high school. It was this story about how he boyfriend had just died, suddenly at their house. She's my age, her boyfriend right around the same. He had a brain anurysm and stroke. She watched it, recalled everything that had happened from the morning they woke up until Friday night when he got a head ache, paramedics came and then he was just gone. It's just heartbreaking and makes you really take a look at your own life. Things like this can happen at the drop of a hat. I never want to be that person recalling the last moments like that, but you really just never know. So many times I am looking into the future, what am I doing tomorrow, this weekend, in 2 months in 2 years. When will I get married, have kids, etc. But what if that never came? You have to live in every minute of every day and never wish away days even if they seem crappy or bad, and wish for another new one to come. It's life and we're lucky to have the day to wish for other things. So I'm going to try really hard to not get caught up in all of that and try to live as best I can in very minute, and not ever leave anything unsaid. Tell everyone I love them as much as I can, see and do the things I hope to do, and never wish away another day. Because what if it just was your last. So that's my challange, not to sweat the small stuff. Kind of depressing, but it always takes something like that to throw your life into perspective, and I hope that we all can do that.
