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.
