Ready or Not...

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you sometimes. You will just be living each day out and floating along when the harsh realities of life hit you right in the face and bring you crashing to the ground. Life doesn't care if your ready or not...it doesn't care if you openly embrace its obstacles or if you don't accept any of its teachings. My only advice is that what doesn't kill you (or those surrounding you) can make you stronger, you just better accept it for what it is and build on lesson taught...also remember to live each day to its max, as cheesy as it sounds. Cheerish the times spent with friends just sittin around doing nothing, the times spent inside and out on a rainy day, the snow angels, the family gatherings, the campfire stories, the laughter...because someday you won't be here, or someone close to you won't be there for whatever reason!
My absolute best wishes and thoughts go out to my aunt and uncle tonight, to my cousins and to all the family...it didn't kill them so eventually it will make them stronger and in turn will strengthen the family!

goodnight all
