It’s funny. That thing called life. We sometimes take it for granted. The cold, crisp winter air. The joy of a hot cup of tea. A conversation with a friend. A funny text. A phone call with a loved one. The sparkles of a fresh coat of snow. We think we have years ahead of us. Years of more living to do. Then our journey on Earth ends.
It could be years from now. It could be today. Only God knows. We are all as vulnerable as each other. Anything can happen to any one of us ... at any time ... for any reason.
Sometimes the journey of life takes you to a moment. You stop. You reflect. You promise to live each day to the fullest. To enjoy the crappy days. Because a crappy day is better than no day. To enjoy the challenges ... those moments of perfection ... heartache ... and laughter. The moments that make up one’s life journey.
The journey is life. Life is easy to get, but easier to lose. It’s like an hourglass. Each grain has a meaning. I like to believe though, that when the sand stops ... the grains ... the memories ... your legacy, never goes away. Your love ... those memories you make with others... the footprints you have made in others hearts... live on... forever.
