a little perspective

Sometimes when you think life is going along too smoothly, something jumps up and completely shatters your world.  Or in my case, my best friend's world.  Life has a funny way of reminding us that everything can change in a split second.   Life is too short to worry about the little, petty things and sometimes we need those big bumps in the road to realize what in life is truly important.  

I meant for my last NaBloPoMo post to be one of sarcasm, joy and celebration for making it a whole month of blogging (almost) everyday.  But now that seems silly.  

So I'll close my post with one of my favorite quotes and one I wish I lived my life by:

"Life journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but to slide in sideways, thoroughly worn out, totally used up and shouting 'holy shit, what a ride!'"
