My husband is having health issues, we're worried about his job, and my daughter is teething and WHINY as all get-out. <br /><br />Somehow, it just doesn't seem to be that BIG anymore, you know? I think of what Heather and Mike, Shana and Rich are going through and I'm able to shrug it off and go on. <br /><br />Their children touched my lives in ways that I wish they never had to... but nevertheless, I'm keeping this lesson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486169617395091403.post-65483402614351847732009-04-21T10:40:00.000-04:002009-04-21T10:40:00.000-04:00I'm struggling with this too.

I don't want the unthinkable to happen with a blog post just posted about how I bribed her to sleep with 15 million dollars. I want to be my authentic self and not live with the fear of death looming....and I also want to be more appreciative of every moment I have. Just another thing to try to balance while holding a 24lb 9 month old.Cass.

Still, we all take our lives for granted in the small moments, and it's important to try and be mindful and present as much as possible.Astartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337583910910454897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486169617395091403.post-11169379396507787772009-04-20T21:37:00.000-04:002009-04-20T21:37:00.000-04:00I think there is a lot of us that have taken for g...I think there is a lot of us that have taken for granted what we have and it is really sad that it takes something so tragic to make us wake up and realize our lives aren't so terrible after all.
