Thoughts....

Do you know what I don't love? Those times that humble you and make you realize how blessed you really are. While it's good to recognize how much we have and how fortunate we are, the really good reminders usually come as the result of a less-than-ideal circumstance. I have a friend who lost his mom to cancer yesterday. I can think of nothing worse. I have experienced loss in my life, but nothing that devastating. While thinking about what that family is going through breaks my heart and makes me cry, it also helps me to more fully appreciate what I have. I would be nowhere without my mom. Or any of my family members. I can't imagine losing one of my incredible friends either. I am so lucky to have so many wonderful people in my life. I am also lucky to know that when I do lose someone that I love, I will see them again. The Plan of Salvation is a wonderful thing and I am so glad that I have a knowledge of it. It helps me through so many things, and I know that it is helping my friend and his family deal with their loss right now. I guess the point of this post is to say thank you to those of you who impact my life in more ways than you know. I love  you. If you don't feel like you do it enough, tell someone how much they mean to you and how much you love them. Life is too short not to.
