So Much....

Yes, I'm still off line, but managing to sneak in a quick post.

So much has happened in the past week or so....a lot of it heart breaking.
We lost two friends last week. Two young, vibrant, amazing, kind people taken from this earth much too soon. Three friends really as one was seven months pregnant with her first baby. Sad...sad...sad...There have been a lot of tears shed, alot of unexplained frustration, anger and just resignation as well. It's just so wrong. Yes, life is not fair. This I know. But still....sometimes it's too much, too overwhelming, too painful and too wrong.
What will I learn from these losses? There's always an opportunity to learn...to not take people for granted, or worry what they think when getting in touch after a long time, keep in touch, take better care of myself, and enjoy life. These are tall orders, but taken a tiny step at a time it all adds up into something better.
Both of my friends, Trent & Melanie, enjoyed life to it's fullest. They embraced it and tried new activities...daunting activities like marathoning, stand up comedy and embarking on the path to parenthood.
There's is so much more to be said about these amazing souls, however now is not the best time. Soon....

And to add to our good week...our whole household has the flu! GI & RI! Ugh! There's a whole lot of spilling going on! Imagine spending the night between my FH and W, both of whom are spilling off and on throughout the night....only to work in the morning with your chest on fire...oh it's an entertaining day here at the H Household!

Hope you all are well and this upcoming Halloween week find you in good health & happiness.
