It is so sad when it takes the loss of another to shock you back into reality and to make your realize what’s most important. Yesterday morning a young man was killed in a traffic accident outside of the gym where I work out. This morning my dearest friend Sher and I were talking about how short life truly is when Sher made the following comment, “That young man could have been having a great day or the very worst day, but now it does not matter.” (May that young man rest in peace and may love be with his family during their time of grief. Bless them all!)

What a reminder that each day is a gift. It does not matter whether the coffee got spilled on the keyboard, or the dog decided to use the living room rug as the backyard, or someone cut you off in traffic. What matters is that we have today. We are living and breathing. We are feeling. We are laughing. We are loving.

My friends, life is too damned short to sweat the small stuff. Make the most of every second, every moment of every day. Resolve old feelings of hurt. Forgive. Call a friend you have not spoken with in awhile. Hug your child. Hug your spouse. Heck, hug yourself. Love a lot or a little. Just be in this moment and enjoy all that you have.

Much love and blessings to all of you!!
