22 March

The wolf.

11 Days ago.....This happened in a far away country called Japan. No warning, and MANY lives were lost. I feel lucky to be so far away from it all, but also so aware of the wolf knocking at my own door. Aware, that in one split second, one could lose everything. Getting older is hard, because that awareness of losing everything just builds and builds as we build more success into our lives and our families grow. We are more likely to be close to someone who tragedy has struck. Three people who I am close to are fighting for their lives battling cancer right now. Another one lost a husband in a tragic car accident a few years ago. Getting older and having children, it makes me so aware of that wolf, and I'm going to do my best to keep him out there where he belongs. I'll so forever be thankful for this wonderful, ordinary day. Ordinary is good.
