Hard Days

Some days I think my life is so challenging and think that I am having a bad or hard day. Today I realize every day is the best day and that I am the luckiest person in the world. How could I not think that?! I have so many wonderful things in my life. I have the most wonderful husband in the world, two of the most beautiful and smartest kids (Ok I am biased), wonderful parents, inlaws, brothers, sisters in law, and brother in law. I love my house, my dog, my life. If I could just freeze time right now I would say my life is perfect. I am so lucky.

Today I spent some of the most special and meaningful time I have ever spent with one of my best friends. She is very sick with breast cancer and going through the most difficult time of her life. She is strong and trying to pull from everyone around her to be stronger. I can't help, but worry about her all day every day. My life could be her life. Why am I so lucky? Why can't she be lucky too? I just pray and hope each day that my friendship will help make a difference in her life and hope that I can help her through this process. I can't imagine being in her shoes and can't imagine to understand how she truly feels right now. But I want so desparatly to be a solid rock for her to lean on.

Life is so precious and I try to relish the moment, but sometimes get lost in planning the future. Today I am trying to remember to love the moment you are in and be thankful for all you have in life. Live life to the fullest!
