Thanks for the reality check. Life is good and although it’s so hard sometimes it takes something like this to make everyone stand up and take notice. I’m heading over to Midwestern Mommy now.

Sometimes it’s easy to get lost on the internet and forget about real life – but posts like this keep me grounded and remind me how lucky I am and how much I have in my life that’s good.

You had a flight scheduled for 9/11? Holy crap, that’s scary! And yes, it’s hard to live each day to the fullest and with no regrets when the toilet is refusing to flush and the cat’s abscess just exploded all over you etc… But it’s always worth a try

Amen to that. I certainly never expected a visit to the ER for my child to turn into a two-week hospitalization. Here’s hoping Lisa’s stay is shorter than expected.

I don’t know her, but I’m heading there next to send her my prayers and good thoughts.

I agree that whole “live life to the fullest” is impossible. I like your approach much better. Too often I get so freaked out by silly, small stuff (like baseboards) that means nothing in the grand scheme. Thanks for the dose of reality.

It is hard to live in “the moment” but sometimes you have to get scared enough to make sure you do so. Until life gets int eh way again.

I don’t know Midwestern Mommy but I’ve been over there too.

It’s easy to get caught up in small details and get frustrated with day to day life. But tonight I’ll go home and play with my kids, instead of Twitter. Just to make sure to enjoy today, so my family knows that I love them, despite my annoyances with them lately.

Thanks for making me think.

You’re right, “Living each day to the fullest” can be an overwhelming task, but living your life generally in a way that is full, that is filled with love, is a great way to tackle that.

I hadn’t met Midwestern Mommy before, but I did leave her a comment in support. I hope she’s okay.
