You never know what kind of ball life is going to pitch you

I just realized I haven't blogged since Tuesday. My mind has been somewhere else, and it probably would have been good for my soul to have blogged but, I just couldn't seem to find the time to do so.
They said bad things happen in threes so, if that is the case, I am done for a long time (I hope). To begin with last weekend, my neighbor at our warehouse, was out for a bike (motorcycle) ride with some friends when a car who saw him coming lurched forward and hit him, breaking his kneecap and pretty much crushing a lot of bones in the same leg. Then, my mother-in-law called an ambulance because she was throwing up and feeling nauseous. She had been admitted and released the week before. Well, this time, it turned out to be more serious than they thought the week before. A huge tumor was discovered in her colon and left untreated, she would have most likely died within three months. Plus, her life would have been hell. Last but certainly not least, one of my fellow Soroptimist Sisters in Huntington Beach was diagnosed with a brain tumor this past week. Her surgery was Friday.
I know you've heard it said a million times before - Let your loved ones and friends know you love them. Don't hold back thinking you have all the time in the world to let someone know how you feel because you may not. Life is precious. When we are born, we are given the gift of life. How we use it is, for the most part, entirely up to us. Don't let it pass you by. Don't be afraid to sing out loud in the shower and dance with your vacuum cleaner, your children or your pets.

Thank you for reading this blog and for taking the time to shop on our website. Thank you for smiling at someone you pass on the street, even if you don't know them. Thank you for giving someone a hug when they don't need it. Thank you for being you.
