Here’s what I’ve seen in the past weeks:

• One friend lost her job.
• One friend received a promotion.
• One marriage is falling apart.
• One unborn child died.
• One friend has rectal cancer.
• One friend had surgery for prostate cancer.
• One friend lost his father.
• Sunny and warm days can turn into winter wonderlands overnight.
• Dark times are always, always followed by sunny days.

And here’s what I’ve learned as a result of all this:

• Life and health are frail.
• Marriages are hard.
• Winter wonderlands are beautiful…if only for a few days.
• Life always ends in death.
• In between birth and death, we make the most of every moment or we don’t…it’s our choice.

What will I learn next week?
