Blog-a-thon Day 15, but who's counting. (I am!)

Tuesdays are very busy for me. My afternoon is spent picking Kyle up from his program, driving 55 minutes to Occupational and Music Therapy and then after two hours there, 55 minutes home. If I have been a good girl in the morning, (which I have today), there is a meal waiting in the crockpot.  If you’ve read “Breathe” you know this weekly adventure is well worth the drive.

Last night I found out that someone who worked with Kyle about 14 years ago for a short, yet meaningful, period of time was killed in a plane crash very recently. Her son was also killed and her two daughters and husband survived but are in serious condition. All three children are 11 and under. This person is a friend of a friend of mine.

For some reason, I have been thinking about this on and off a lot. In fact, I had a dream about the gal last night. I keep thinking about her family and also about her and how she had so much life left to live. I also recall what a difference she made for us in the short time she worked with Kyle. She helped us make a huge life altering change in Kyle.

I am  reminded once again of how precious and also, precarious, life is. It only takes an instant for everything to change. That is the life lesson buried in this tragedy.

In “Breathe” I have a piece called “ Live Now”. The significance of “Live Now” can’t be overstated. We must.

AND this week’s words to live by in yesterday’s post, “Letting Go”. I believe that’s a must as well. Life is too precious to hang on to unnecessary baggage. 

Well, this is pretty heavy today. But I’m feeling heavy. Tomorrow look forward to something on the lighter side.

Treasure life!
