Life is precious.

Cherish every moment you're given.  I know that sounds typical, and people may say it often.  But think about that statement.  Life can be taken away from you at any moment.  Last night at 8pm a friend of mine had a baby.  She was expecting a girl; they had everything set up and ready.  She went into labor early and had a baby boy.  His lungs and kidneys weren't fully developed, and he went to Heaven at 10pm the same night.  I saw a photo of that precious child and almost cried.  His parents and grandparents wanted him so badly.  2 hours was all that child was given on Earth.  I've been blessed with 2 decades.  I'm guilty of being a grumpy gills and a Debbie downer, but I wholeheartedly believe it's time for a change.  So often we sweat the small things in life.  I find myself mad at the simplest issues, instead of letting them go and moving on.  It's not an overnight change; it takes a conscious effort, and I can honestly say I'm getting better.

According to me, no one should take life for granted.
