TAKE CARE OF WHAT TRULY MATTERS, TODAY!

Life can change drastically in seconds without our consent or control. Unfortunately often times it is not always a change for the good.

Sadly, one particular example is of this freak accident and fatality near my home this past week where a trailer/container became dislodged from it's truck striking a small work van in a location where the driver of the van had no where to go to avoid it. Many lives have changed dramatically from this brief and unfortunate moment in time.

If you take time to look up The Steve Gleason Story on YouTube you will be shocked by the story of this professional athlete's life altering and life threatening battle with ALS and how it has quickly taken him from the heights of athletic achievement to fighting to stay alive. It is actually a heart-warming story (and sad as well) of a man who refuses to give in to the numerous obstacles placed in his way, a man who continues to live life to the fullest in the face of unbelievable physical adversity.

Shockingly, how many lives were changed from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings of 14 months ago in Connecticut! Who would have expected that on December 14, 2012 these beautiful people would be inexplicably taken from their family and friends changing them forever!

We take so many things for granted and the time we have left to live a healthy, active, happy and long life is one of them. It amazes me the time we spend worrying about and focusing on the things that don't really matter and missing out on those that truly do.

Life is so precious yet fragile. LIVE YOURS TO IT'S FULLEST EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY AND SHARE IT OPENLY WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
