When terrible things happen

The last couple of days I have been doing the same thing I always do. You know, house cleaning, taking care of the kids, school, writing, grocery shopping. But, during this whole time I’ve been doing the things I normally do, places like Oklahoma are being literally devastated.

I reflected on this with my husband today. My heart is hurting and my prayers are being sent to the victims, the survivors and anyone affected by the tornados. I did this very same thing after the Hurricane Sandy and the Newtown shooting, I was really put in my place.

By this I mean, every one of us worries about bills and work and our children, we all complain about our life and how much better we could or should be doing. But in reality, be it mother nature or a psycho, we could lose it all in as little as a matter of minutes.

It is sad that for so many of us, it takes devastation and such terrible things to happen for us to realize how very lucky we are.

Everyday, be thankful for what you have because it could be taken from you.

Be thankful, be happy, be positive and LIVE life.
