For Granted...

Do you ever just sit and think about time? It's so fast moving. Sure, while at work, time seems to creep by every day... but other days, I feel like I just woke up, and went straight back to bed.

Time flies so quickly that it's hard to remember to sit back and just take it all in. Everything is so rushed and busy... sometimes, we even take things for granted. Not just things though, people as well. Your family, your friends, your children.. even your animals at times. 

Sometimes I just sit and think about all the blessings in life and how I'm so fortunate to just be able to pick up the phone and talk to most of the people I think about all day. Such a relief to know everyone and everything is alright just by a simple call/text/email/or post.

Most days I wake up and remember how lucky I am, but other days, I wake up in fear. I fear that I will lose the things most important to me. You never know when it's going to happen... or where... or why...

Knowing how fast time flies... why treat it as if there's always a tomorrow? Why not tell people TODAY how much they mean to you? Why live your life with regrets? I don't want to take people for granted.... I want people to KNOW I'm here, to KNOW I care, and to KNOW that I think about them, always.

So what are you waiting for? Have you taken a moment today to appreciate all the beautiful things life has to offer? Despite the hardships, downward spirals, etc. 

SO do it... take a moment today to spread the love. Let people know you care, that you are thinking about them, that you are there for them!
