Precious life.

  This morning was very enjoyable..out to breakfast with my sister who comes home from Connecticut on the weekends.. we laughed, caught up and we were on our way to a store.. there was a fire fighter redirecting traffic, we were a little concerned and made our way back out to the main road where we came upon the reason there was a traffic issue.. an accident. We kept driving minding our business and talked about how we hope everyone was okay.. but when a road is blocked off  like that.. its never a good sign. We went down a quarter of a mile and turned into the store and walked in.We got what we needed and had a nice talk with the customer service lady. My sister and I mentioned how there was an accident... she said that there was a helicopter that landed but didn't take the motorcyclist involved in the reck. The man had been killed right there.. my heart began to ache! I am not sharing this to make anyone feel badly.. but to make people realize how one minute we are all here and the next... we can be taken. I have thought about the gentleman that I don't know.. all day. I don't need to know him, I know he is a person with a family. maybe children, living parents and such.. I just think we all should count our blessings and know that we are lucky to have our loved ones  alive and well. I think sometimes we need to hear stories like this to appreciate things more then we do. Some people need to be more careful while driving and be more cautious. I just think that life is to short and we need to live it to the fullest! 

   I don't want to be someone who just talks about lollie pops and gummy bears all the time... that is not our reality. Things happen for a reason and we should all take a step back, and  truly love life.. hug our loved ones.. take chances and open doors that maybe have been shut but should be opened! Life is a gift! We are here on borrowed time and we all need to live it the way that makes us happiest :) who knows what can happen!! People need to follow their passions and hearts! Living this life can be such a beautiful experience and filled with love! Along the way there will be bumps. pain and heart ache.. but remember that its short lived. Love this life willingly, let go of fear to be yourself, be true to you, and do what is right in the end! I know it is not easy, but you will have no regrets that way!!

   Sorry to share about the gentleman who passed today... I think he was doing something he enjoyed on such a beautiful day... but when things so tragic happen, it can be a wake up call for us.. I guess I want to take something horrible and bring some sort of light to it possibly. I care about life in general its special.. so we need to realize that this life.. is a precious one. Live it, Love it, and Embrace it.
