We had such a busy day today. Papa drove over for the twins soccer game. They had a blast and then he took them back to Clearwater. I was off to a baby shower for my friend Jennifer and Tony manned the garage sale. Tony and I had a delectable child-free dinner complete with margaritas and conversation. All this happened today and...
my mothers good friend had her daughters funeral.
Shocking, isn't it. She was a couple years younger than me....she grew up in Buffalo like me. She moved to Florida and was recently engaged and had just bought a home. She was on her way home from the Bucs game and there was an accident. An accident and now her mother planned her funeral. Life is so fragile and short. I am going to remind myself of this and hopefully make more of the moments. Even if I run late to work and don't do the dishes and even if my living room is a mess...it really doesn't matter....my family is all together and we are happy. Life is good. And fragile and short.

Wow... I will share with you that it seems to me an inordinate number of times lately I've been in the car and the song "Live Like you were Dying" has come on the radio. One day I went on a long drive to the beach at like 8 at night- needed to find some clarity and center myself and on the way home it came on the radio... you are so very very right, its good to remember those things...
"and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying "
ooooo....forgiveness. That is a tough one. I feel pretty comfortable with the relationships in my life...I think people know how I feel about them. But there are probably one or two people I need to forgive...really forgive.
