Putting Things Into Perspective

It has been so long since I have made the time to write. I have been so busy with life that I have forgotten to stop and think, contemplate, and share. Most recently, and especially today though, I was reminded about how things can quickly change and how those changes affect people. Today I attended a funeral for someone who lived his life and enjoyed every minute of it. He suffered from a horrible disease for the past year, yet he continued to live his life as much as he could and was content and happy. He didn't spend a minute feeling sorry for himself, so I am told. It really put things into perspective for me. During this season, and as another year comes to a close, I hope that this realization doesn't come too late, and that I can remember to be thankful, and show gratitude for all of my many blessings!
