Sadness

Every so often I’m really reminded of why we’re taking this trip (or at least one big reason) and that is to truly live life to the fullest and appreciate every day. In the last couple of years we’ve lost my sister in law, my mom & our dog and have cried many tears along the way. A  good friend of mine lost her mom almost exactly 2 weeks after I lost mine and every time we see eachother there is that little bit of sadness of being kindred spirits.

I just heard from her and on the way home from putting flowers on her moms grave she found out one of her dearest friends from childhood was killed. There is much sadness in the world but I think we all need to take away the lesson that you must truly LIVE, not just exist to work to pay your bills, etc always waiting for  “someday” to follow our dreams & truly appreciate the wonder of our lives.. Too bad it often takes tragedy to wake us up to that fact but I know I, for one, plan on making every day count.
