I think sometimes we really forget how precious life is. I went to the nursing home today with my dog so she could make the residents happy. It was wonderful but also so saddening. There is one man who is 41 he is on a ventilator, cannot breathe on his own. Just be thankful for everything you have.

Indeed life is rather precious. Not to mention kind of fragile as well. There are times where life does seem to be going on, pretty much business as usual, but when something happens, when life turns around, it can turn around at any moment for the very worse. And thankfully sometimes a better, but a happy day can have a dark cloud cast upon it each and every moment of each and every day when you think about it.
Naturally there is just something about life that just makes it worthwhile but what life is worth, it might not be worth it all that much longer. I do think that we should get the most out of every moment of life as we can, when we can. Because if nothing else, life is going to spin around in the other direction, almost immediately and you never know what direction that might be. The person who is smiling might not be breathing later this afternoon.
