That's the sign I have in my house. Now I am the first to say some days that feels like a stretch. Especially if your life feels challenged like mine does some days. But the bottom line is that life is very fragile and today is what we have. There are no guarantees for tomorrow. Today...that's what we have. And as we all know...things can change in an instant.
A friend of mine went for coffee this week. When she came home she said the sheriff's department and their chaplain were in her driveway. Her 18 year old son was killed on his way to his new job. Life has changed for her in an instant.
It could change like that for any of us. It's a reminder to get rid of what is unimportant in our lives and focus on what is important. Appreciate what is good. Tell the people we care care how important they are to us. Do it today and don't wait.
Drop a note to someone you have been thinking about but never find the time to connect with. Today is the day to make the time to do it.
We can be all about what's ahead of us...our dreams and goals...but remember to take time to appreciate what's around you right now. It may be more amazing than you think...
