So I'm driving home this morning..

[Simply Me]

Taking my time, singing out loud with Def Leppard, thinking about getting home to Dragon. My mind flashes back to last night in the E.R. and how many people were killed in car accidents that we saw. Made me stop and think, they were probably riding along, happy, thoughtful, concerned, maybe singing, maybe looking forward to getting home to their family. Then in a blink of an eye, it's over. It was a reminder to me how precious life is, and not to take a minute of it for granted.

I wondered as I drove on in, that if I died today, would I feel that my life had been complete. I'm not really sure, I have so many things that I still want to do. But all in all, it's been a good life. Not a perfect one by no means, but I have known love, happiness, disappointments, hurt, and pain. But I have learned that all of what I have gone through in my life, has made me who I am today. I am a strong woman. Stronger than I ever thought.
I am kind, and loving. I try to be good to people, and expect the same in return. Sometimes, you have to stop, look at yourself, look at those around you, and remember to close your eyes and be thankful for everyday you have with those you love.

Not looking for replies on this. I simply felt like expressing myself today. I hope you all have a great day, full of love and joy. And please, drive safely. Happy Holidays.

funny...

the only thing I think about while driving are the idiots on the road. heh .. just kidding.

I often think about how wonderful my life has been up to this point and although I'd love to have a long long life, it wouldn't be such a bad thing if it had to end now. I had a fantastic childhood, wonderful parents and siblings, I've experienced marriage, traveled quite a bit, and have had 8 wonderful years with my son.

I've been lucky.

Simply,

So true.

I think it takes a close call or some long serious thought like you had this morning to bring your message across.

I spent two days in cardiac ICU this past May after a heart attack. All I thought about was what if. What would I miss. What have I done, what haven't I done. It can really change your life.
