Life is short. To short sometimes and more often then not we lose sight of what's truly in front of us. We take for granted all the little things that mean so much. It's hard not to do it in this day and age. All of us are in a hurry going from place to place. We want instantaneous results, we don't want to have to wait for anything. Little patience and even littler time. It's sad really how we forget to enjoy the world and those around us, sad how we forget the people we meet, the impact they make on us and the impact they make on the world, little do they realize just how important they are, little do we realize how important we are. That we're all meant for something greater then whatever it is we're doing presently and yet we fail to see it. Fail to see life for what it is, the blessings it brings, the mysteries, the joy, and the pain it brings and how it's always there to teach us a lesson if we're ready and willing to listen. Surrounding us, comforting us, making it seem like things are better then what they are before life is truly over. It's funny how life works. You think someone will be there for you, forever and then you wake up and realize they're gone and all you're left with is an ache, a hollow empty ache within the core of your spirit and you want the ache to subside, to go away, and it doesn't ever leave you. But, you go on and you move forward, living the life you've always lived, instantaneous results and all.
--Slow down, breathe, reflect, wonder at the little things. You'd be surprised at all you are missing..--
