Tonight I was given a harsh slap of reality and reminded of the significance of life. By life I mean the moments when we are able to walk to the subway, run on a treadmill, have a disagreement with a friend, look in someone’s eyes and say, “I love you,” touch the freshly fallen snow, smell the food carts on the street as we walk by, witness the birth of a child…all of the moments when we are fully aware and present of the things that are happening to us and around us. I realized that I’ve taken A LOT for granted and the truth is that it could all change in a single moment. It’s just confirmation of my year goal to leave nothing left unsaid, including words of love and encouragement. Because the truth is, you just never know what could happen.
