There are moments in life that really open your eyes. It touches your heart and makes you realize how blessed we all are and how precious life really is.
Yesterday was one of those days. My daughter's friend lost his mother. She left on her own accord. Life was done for her but she left this place in chaos for those who were left behind. It has been on my mind all day.
How does a mother do that? I could never leave my daughter that way. It would be unfair to her.
Then another friend decided he was done and tried to take his life. Fortunately, he failed and in the weeks since, he has seen his way back and realized what he could have missed in his life had it been successful.
We take our bad times to heart so strongly that we forget to reach out for help. That is what family and friends are for. No one has to do it alone. Even if you want to, there is no shame in asking for help, from time to time. That's what makes the bonds stronger.
It made me think of all that I have and where I am. Sure, I made a mistake in moving to CT but it was inside of me to really see if it was as good as it was when I lived here before. It taught me, yet again, that we can't go back to the past and recapture what was then.
Life is about living in each moment and moving forward. I have been so incredibly lucky to have all that I have. And to have met the people I met.
Count your blessings every day. Don't let the bad things living in your head play with your life. Change your thought and it changes your world.
How can I be so blessed to have so many amazing people in my life? Honestly... My cup runneth over.
