One day to the next...

One day you are fine.
Worrying about your lists of things to do. Frustrated with the state of affairs locally and globally.
Maybe grateful for some things that go your way... Planning your future..

I just learned this evening that a friend and colleague of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer last week and will undergo surgery next week. In a flash it all changes. Those things that were once so important are now nothing. Now things that you wish you never wasted your time and energy on. But you did. We all do.

We can change that.

Be grateful for each and every moment that you have your health, your family..your friends.

Now I am thinking of the ways in which I can be a good friend to someone who needs me... who needs all of those around her... to push her toward healing. And reminds each of us of what is truly important in this life.

People

Love

Compassion

Peace
