Moments of Reflection

Yesterday I attended my third funeral in as many weeks. To me that is just a little too much for one month. Each death was slightly different and each funeral ceremony was different as well. The one common thread from each occasion is that it has allowed me to reflect on the people and moments in my own life.

Life is to be cherished. We only get one chance at it while on this Earth. So I have found that I cherish many things and am thankful to have them. So what means the most to me? Well here it is in a sort of inglorious list.

My Family. My family simply means everything to me.
My friends. You know who you are. I appreciate all the moments we have shared.

And that is really all that matters. All of the rest is simply material possessions and moments spent with either my family or my friends.

All I can say is do not take anything for granted and appreciate the time we have with each other to its maximum.
