i think for the most part i take life for granted. i forget how delicate and intricate it is, yet how simple it is at the same time. let me explain...
it's intricate because so many pieces and people are involved. even if very small. yes, that person you know at work but don't REALLY know has made some sort of an impact on your life, even if all they've ever done is said hello and how was your day? people you meet once at a gathering can touch you or teach you things you never thought you'd ever feel or learn.
it's delicate because it's risky! life can and everything about it can be taken away from you in an instant or over a period of a few months or years.
it's simple because what it comes down to is love. those around you are important. you do everything you can to make them happy and safe and they (hopefully) do the same for you.
i am truly blessed with friends and family that have touched me and played such key roles in shaping me into the woman i now am and will continue to grow into. i am blessed with a healthy life with minor bumps in the road. i have 2 friends right now dealing with such incredible obstacles in their lives and they handle it with such grace and strength. kate and kristal, my hat's off to you! you are both such incredibly strong women who don't deserve what you are being put through, but i know He has a plan for it all. i can only learn to take advantage of the days with the people that i love from you both. thank you for humbling me to realize these things. i pray that when i am faced with such incredible obstacles that i may have the strength and grace to proceed as you both have.
so to sum up... life is short and precious... soak it all in and enjoy what you have! we are all truly blessed!

Yes we are all blessed. Strength is something you have when you have to have it. You might not think you have it and then when you most need it....it will be there for you.
Thanks for the prayers.
