2010 began with a phone call. My sister-in-law, Tanya McBride, died from cancer in the early hours of January 1, 2010. From that beginning, it caused me to realize there is no time to delay. Every day must be lived to the fullest. For me, that doesn't mean jumping out of an airplane, or taking a trip around the world. It is being aware of the moments and beauty of each and every day, and learning to be content with my surroundings.
As others reminisce about what they accomplished in 2010, I want to think of the blessings I have today. My husband, children, family members are near and dear to me. I have a warm house, a job that pays the bills and some money in the bank. That is enough for the moment. Is the perfect life? No. It is the life I have chosen, deliberately. Should I coast, and not make changes that are needed? No. There are things to be improved.
The people I love need to know they are loved. That is all that really matters.
