Some things just don't make sense. I was at my desk this morning when I received an e-mail that a main intersection in downtown Columbus was closed. While this is not a common occurrence, as the Office Administrator of a downtown law office, I receive multiple notifications about different things going on downtown, so I did not give it a great deal of thought. I find out later that there was an indescribable accident - a 21-year old intern was struck and killed by a bus that was hit by someone that ran a red light. She was hit be a bus... How many times has someone made the reference "I could get hit by a bus tomorrow", well today, someone did get hit by a bus. A family is hurting tonight because their college age daughter was lost in a freak accident. I can't imagine how they are feeling. I have always believed in fate and that things happen for a reason, but why would something like this happen?
As a cancer survivor, I often say that life is short and tomorrow is not guaranteed. But am I living my life as if tomorrow was not a guarantee? I am embarrassed to say that not always. You see, you can so easily slip back into letting the dailyness of life take over and not make every day count. Are you doing something great with every day? Are you living your life with purpose? While I can't change yesterday, I can make tomorrow different and will not take for granted this second lease on life that I have been given! Do something great tomorrow and make a difference!
