Perspective

I have been reading this family's blog and Facebook posts often in the last 24 hours...www.kateleong.com. And for 10 minutes, I have been thinking of a meaningful way to describe it, and have come up empty-- other than that it is a true testament to the fact that a person's writing can be so life changing.

Kate's writing and experience has made me thankful, ashamed, heart-broken, confused, happy -really just a whirlwind of emotions. It has reminded me of the notion that your experiences are relative...and can't be fairly compared to anyone else's. More importantly, it has reminded me that we should always appreciate what we are given, and understand that our journey is our own to cherish, no matter how challenging or painful it may seem.

I am especially thankful that just when I need it most, I am reminded to take life one day at a time, and really LIVE each moment.
