There are usually a million things that run through my head when I sit down to write a blog. For example, tonight I had thought about discussing how awful of a restaurant the Osaka in Maplewood is, or maybe talk about how excited I am to kick off the spring with a bunch of new photo shoots coming up. Or even better yet, vent about how my six year old has lately taken on the persona of a 13 year old 'Valley Girl' and has the attitude to match. But none of that really seems right tonight.
There are times every now and again that certain events happen in life and you're afraid to ask why because you don't really want to question the bigger plan, but today is one of those days where I'm fighting the urge to ask that very question. Last night, my sister in law was taken from this world very suddenly. At 29 years old, she left behind her husband of just a few short years and their sweet little 8 year old boy who will now go on without his mother. It's hard not to question that.
God always has a bigger plan, and having the reality check of knowing that everything can be gone in the very next second, it makes the so called problems of a crappy dinning experience and dealing with a little six year old diva seem pretty small.
“Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile." -Mark Twain
