Give a hug, get a hug

Nick and I are enjoying a much needed vacation in Bend together in our Airstream. We are staying at Crown Villa, a resort RV park that we have stayed at previously. Nick is taking a class today (Thursday) and I am just hanging out in the Airstream for the day. Tomorrow, we have the whole day to explore Bend and enjoy time together. We are definitely trying to enjoy time together just the two of us (three if you count the woof) before our lives change forever and time alone comes with a lot of planning.

Recently, unexpected deaths and sicknesses have touched the lives of some otherwise very young and healthy people. It is a reminder that there are many things that just are not important. Getting frustrated over an unfinished bathroom and entryway, getting overwhelmed with yard work, being annoyed with the uncertain nature of childbirth and when the baby will come - it is all so trivial. These events are reminders that in the end, there are only a handful of important things in life. Health, Happiness, Love, Family and Friends. Everything else is really just distractions that keep us from looking at what is important.

I hope that today, everyone takes the time to just enjoy time with their loved ones, revel in their health and smile big smiles of happiness. Give a hug, get a hug - and tell those you care about that you love them.
