It wasn't even about me...not really. It began with a very long drive to work. My usual 10 to 15 minute drive to work took over an hour due to the weather and accidents and flooding.
Of course, you go through this thought process as you sit there, listening to the traffic report being reported by some bright, cheerful voice about slow downs and accidents that have traffic backed up here or there...and at first its frustration. You just want to get where you're going. But then you realize she just said "fatality" in that same bright voice...and the next is a "serious injury crash" and you start to think about how easily it could be you bleeding your life out on the pavement.
( Cut because I'm going to ramble about unpleasant things....and you can feel free to skip it. )
Life is too short and too fragile and too important to live it without making the people around you know that they are loved. Don't wait for special occasions. Be spontaneous. Say the words. Do the deed. Whatever it takes to be sure every single day that they know they are loved by you. Advice I intend to take myself.
