Mindful

So mindful these days of how delicate our lives are in this world that can have such sharp edges. Much of it is hard to understand or explain for me; maybe some can make sense of it, but not I. I suppose there is some bigger explanation out there. As much as my ‘logical’ brain wants to make sense of it, I think there are more important things to do then to understand why. For me, it is just life’s way of reminding us to live each moment to the fullest. Cliche, I know. But, time is all we have and at the same time it is what we don’t have enough of. Maybe it is the gift of age that makes you realize that there is no guarantee on tomorrow. Mindful of this moment, this minute, grateful and living in faith. Be kind to each other…
