Time for a reality check

A girl that I used to work with has just found out that her son has an incurable disease. I have been sitting on this for a week, trying to decide if it was something that I should write about. I just can't stop thinking about it. My mom and I were talking about it and I said that I don't know what I would do. She said "thank god everyday that your babies are healthy". Some days I get so caught up in life and mundane tasks that I forget to look at the little things. So that is my goal, to start looking at the little things. I am going to spend more time with my kids, more time playing, more time laughing, more time loving them. Laundry will wait, dishes will wait, but them growing up isn't going to wait. They are growing so much every day and I want to savor every little moment because it happens too fast. There are so many bad things that happen to good people in this crazy world, but I have been blessed with the most beautiful little girls and the best husband that I want to not take one minute for granted. I encourage everyone to do the same. Notice the little things. Notice the new flowers blooming, notice the trees with their green leaves starting to bud, notice how lucky you are to be here and be healthy.
