Blessed Reflections

Today I was sent the obituary of a colleague. I didn't know him well, we'd worked together a handful of times, but he seemed like a decent enough guy. His death was sudden and unexpected. I learned so much more about him in his obit...things that surprised me and things that made me smile in rememberance of past conversations. It made me think about how I'm so thankful for this, my simple, beautiful life. It also reminded me to say that I cherish you, my friends and family, because truly, I am blessed to know and be known by so many of you.
