Life...

• I was thinking about LIFE this morning on my way to work this.
• I miss watching the sun come up in the morning...
• Life is so short, but in it's length it has so much meaning if you just stop and think about all that your eyes take in and your heart bears...
• Today one of my friends is laying her husband to rest. He actually won the lottery in leaving this world and did it doing something he loved, though he left this world much too soon... He has a grandchild on the way that he will never see or hold and two grown boys that loved him very much... I can't imagine being a wife and loosing your best friend and that is what they were; friends... My heart aches for her...
• I have another friend that lost her sweet, tall grandson this last weekend. A marine the same age as Chelsea, his life cut short in an accident. His parents are so torn and it is so sad... I can't imagine loosing either of my kids... My heart hurts for this family too...
• I saw a pair walking down the street on a poor side of town this morning , her carrying all of her belongings in a suitcase with wheels, not looking even as old as me, lost to the world trying to survive the world with nothing but a suitcase... It made me wonder how many wrong choices got her to where she is today, who and what she left behind and how many wrong choices it would take for me to be in the same place... I really felt bad for her poor lost soul...
• I have a close friend that is now raising her grand children because their mother is suffering from mental illness or breakdown of some kind... Knowing how hard it is to deal with mental illness my heart breaks for her knowing that it is her daughter and their is nothing she can do for her, fore they must be willing to help themselves before you can help them and she isn't their yet... She is torn and scared to be raising her grand babies... I feel for her and wish I was closer to her so I could help... Such beautiful children they are <3
• Have you ever felt so blessed? I do... My life is good right now... I am enjoying my family and my life. I could do without work, but then I wouldn't have anything to complain about and my lessons in life would not be as challenging... I feel good right now, it scares me in some aspects because when I am comfortable it is usually followed by turbulence in some way or another... I am never comfortable in things running smoothly which is sad I know, but I do relish in the time I have when things are running smooth :)
