When you're younger you cant wait for time to hurry up. Ironically when you reach a certain age - you cant wait for it to slow down.  Funny how we want to hurry our lives up and rush things when we are younger and slow it down as we get older.

Recently- we have lost many high profile people to our enemy death.  And everyday someone looses a loved one for one reason or another.  They are not high profile people- just everyday people that someone loved.  It is at that moment for them- they realize what a gift life really is and can be taken in an instant.

So how do we appreciate our gift of life?  Do we help others with our time, money or our resources? 

In a world that is full of so much badness - it is nice to reflect on one of the biggest gifts we have been given and that is our life.  Even if we have lost loved ones- we can still celebrate the gift of life they shared with us - even though at times brief.

To all of you that read this- celebrate your gift with someone.  Use that gift to help, encourage, support, love, cherish, embrace & hold.  Never take your gift for granted.
