How Quickly . . . What Matters . . .
Today I am grateful for priorities and for some closet cleaning.
We were reminded early this morning about how quickly things can change in any of our lives. A fall down some stairs could have had some terrible outcomes. Thank God, other than a bit of a twisted ankle, everyone is okay.
Things can change that quickly. A phone call. A fall. An accident. A yes instead of a no. A no instead of a yes. A diagnosis or an all-clear. Split seconds can change things forever, both in positive and negative ways.
When one of those split seconds happens, not only do we get the wake-up clarity of how quickly things can change, we get to prioritize what matters most. Something that may have seemed big, important, and bothersome just a few minutes ago is put in true perspective.
What matters most is that we are here, healthy, sharing our lives-the trials and the tribulations. What matters most is being awake to the experience and the precious nature of each moment.
