Epiphany

So when I went out to Taber this evening to keep a friend company because they are having SERIOUS marital issues but that is beside the point. But after visiting him and getting lung cancer because he a chain smoker I realized just how fortunate I am.

I am so lucky to have my health, I am not dieing of any terminal illness. All my friends al healthy ( some are happier than others) but are all alive and doing well. I am so thankful for this!! I am thankful that I am healthy enough that if I wanna go for a five hour bike ride (this has happened before) I can and usually end up hurting the next day but I am able to do this without to much reprocussion.

This is just to take a moment and be thankful and stop time; even for a couple of minutes just to take advatnage of the higtened awareness to know that even for this moment in time. Everyone is okay. All to quickly this will be washed away into the sands of time where people come, people go, people die, people move on. Sadly this is the way of life and we can do nothing to stop it, but in moments like these appreciate that they are alive and well. I am sitting with my husband to be right now, and all to quickly will we be dieing and sitting at one of our funerals and us cherishing all of our young memories of when we first wed, and when our future kids were born.

So I am taking this moment to appreciate the ones I love and know that for this brief time in our lives, everyone is okay......
