life is so precious....

and on a daily basis it's very easy to let silly little things make us think otherwise, and get all 'down' about nothing...

not to say that certain things really are something, but mostly, they are nothing...

see i spoke to my big sister tonight and she was telling me a sad story about a friend of hers, who not only lost his wife this week but also they lost their 3rd baby too...we spent a fair bit of our conversation talking about how he must be feeling...

so you see, life really is precious, and sometimes it will feel like things aren't going our way, but the fact that we are still here and healthy and that those we love are also still here, is something we need to remember to be grateful for not just every day, but every minute that we have with them...

so my big sister - i'm thinking of you and hoping that your friend has plenty of love and support through this most difficult of times, and i'm thinking of you too and thinking how nice it is to have you in my life, even if you are a 4 hour plane ride away!!!
