What a day of frittering. It's been a real busy week and I'm sort of pushing the limits this morning of when I will go into work. It's 11:15am. I have an appointment with someone at 1pm. Do I go into the office and make phone calls? Or sit and fiddle on my blog or read my Psalm for the day or do another load of laundry or clean up the mess I left in the kitchen etc etc? Maybe I'll blog.
I keep thinking of my friend Mary. In the "everyday-ness" of life, I take so much for granted and sort of bulldoze through so many days.....until news comes around of friends like Mary. Mary was a classmate of mine growing up and over the years we have gone our separate ways however I just got word that Mary has inoperable, terminal brain cancer. She will pass on from this earth and leave her sweet husband and two little ones behind. You know, my only response was to weep. Then a really sweet attitude has boosted my heart this week in light of this news. I feel like I have been able to look at things differently. I feel like I have been able to see people in a different perspective. It's quite refreshing to be grateful for the days you have and the people in your life. To cherish those most dear to your heart. Ohhhh...to only live the rest of my days with this perspective.
