Today has been one of those days for me. You know, the "so much to do, so little time" ones where you feel like a chicken running around without a head? Enough said. Early this morning I was scrambling to get work stuff done and stressing about silly things like booking a vacation, when I could go home and pick up my birthday package from my mom, and whether or not I should start doing more leg exercises when I lift weights, crucial issues, I know. In the midst of all this chaos my phone rings and it's Jess. She tells me how she was in San Antonio this weekend with some friends and they got in a horrible accident. Some guy ran a stop sign and t-boned their car. Jess, along with 2 others, was life flighted to the hospital in SA and ended up with some broken ribs, a broken hand, and a ton of bruises. As she was telling me this my eyes filled with tears and my mouth instantly fell open, dry as the Sahara. I live such a blessed life and I have been extremely lucky in the fact that I have never lost or even almost lost someone close to me. That phone call definitely brought me back down to Earth and reminded me how fragile life is. I wanted to leave work that instant and go and give her a big hug (but not too big bc the girl has broken ribs!) and it killed me that I couldn't. I am currently rushing around trying to finish what I must at work so that I can speed out to Kingwood (yea right, not with Houston traffic) and see my poor broken and bruised best friend. Jess, just like the rest of you, makes me laugh so hard I can't breathe and smile till I can't feel my face. Although I already mentioned my wonderful friends yesterday, I had to show her somelove today too! Please keep Jess (and her friends who were also hurt) in your prayers and give those special people in your life a little extra sugar next time you see them. As corny as it sounds, everyday is definitely a blessing from God and you never know what tomorrow will bring!
big hugs and kisses to you all :*
