I was reminded AGAIN today that life is short and we aren’t always the ones in control. Sometimes it takes a subtle reminder to put things in perspective…and that’s what happened to me today.
Never take what you have or your health for granted. Sure, things could always be better. You could be richer, prettier, thinner, happier…or so you think. Look around and focus on what you have instead of what you don’t. Take inventory of all the blessings in your life and embrace them. You never know what tomorrow will bring.
The most beautiful people we have know are those who have know defeat, know suffering, know struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

I want my kids to grow up and be beautiful people... and so, I must be that person.
Beautiful post!
