In the past few months, several people close to me have lost someone they loved. My own family is soon to lose a family friend. Life is full of surprises. Great ones and terrible ones. Our job is to seize every moment that we have so that we can live a life without regret. And it is in that context that I offer up this piece of food for thought today.
Now is the time to cherish your family.
They may exasperate and infuriate us.
But they are one of our most precious possessions.
Don't take them for granted.
We never how long we will have them,
or they us.
They are our mirror and our anchor.
Treasure your time with them.
Don't go to bed angry. Don't let someone leave the house without telling them you love them. Let the last interaction you have with a person before you part ways be a positive one. You never know when it might be your last. Some might say that is a morbid way to look at things, but I disagree wholeheartedly, because every time you part with a small nicety being exchanged, you make the world a little bit happier of a place. And that can never be a bad thing.
