Life is Fragile - Handle with Care

I felt impressed to write my weekly blog post today instead of waiting til Sunday.  Today my mom left to go back home.  We had such a great time visiting, shopping, and watching her cook!  Her visits are always too short, and we always wish they were closer together.  When she returned home, she came back to some sad news.  A cousin of ours died today in a house fire.  She was wheelchair bound and had two service dogs with her.  Her husband was outside using the snowblower and by the time he realized the house was on fire it was too late.  He tried to save her, but the fire and smoke were just too great.  Life is SO short... we have no idea when or where we will leave our mortal existence behind.  Take the time to truly show your love for those you love - show it with your actions and your words.  Remember to have balance in your life so that one aspect doesn't overshadow all the others.  Take time for the little things.....help wash some dishes, unplug yourself while talking on the phone to give full attention to whom you are speaking, consciously plan your time so it doesn't fritter away.  Love the ones you are with.

Peace to you Cheryl, and those who love you.
