Big Take Away From This January

Bus monitor with lots of time to think

January has been crazy busy, heartbreaking, and exhausting but my big take away for myself is love every minute of your life. You never know when it will change. It is something I have thought about always as a motherless daughter from the age of 12 and know that life is a blessing and that we cannot take one moment for granted.

This January a local mom has lost her husband leaving her with 3 kids. 2 local woman are really fighting for their lives with Cancer and now a dear friend's son is fighting for his life after a tree accident. 

My heart breaks for all of them. You never know how long you have and all you can do is your very best to lead a life of laughter, love, good deeds and try to be the best person you can be to others as much as yourself. 

Whatever you need that makes you happy is important. Sometimes it doesn't align with others in your life and then you need to come to a balance where everyone is getting what they want and need.

What we want and need is different. 

I want a million dollars. I need money to pay my bills. 

I want good health for as long as I can be here. I need to take care of myself.

I want a larger house with state of the art accessories, new furniture, flooring, windows. I need a roof over my head. 

Wanting is great but as long as your needs are being met you can work on the want BUT if your needs are not being met is is time for change. 

We are only here for a short time. Make every moment count.
