Reality Check

I just learned not long ago that the son of one of the FedEx VP's was killed over the weekend. He was 18 years old and had just graduated from high school on Friday. What a horrible, tragic event for this family to have to survive. In thinking about this, it made me realize just how uncertain life is for each of us. It made me think about my own daughter who is currently in San Diego and far from me. It made me think of my husband who is out working in the rain. It made me think of my friends that I haven't talked to lately. Have I told these people how important they are to me? Have I left them with the knowledge that I love them and why? Have I shared with them how grateful I am to have someone so fabulous in my life?

Nothing is promised for any of us. Take a minute today to let someone know that you love them. Take a minute to share your thoughts and feelings with someone you are thankful to have in your life. Take a minute to appreciate each and every one of your blessings!
