This past Saturday, I attended a training for Team in Training and the mission moment was about a family who lost their beautiful 10 year old girl to Leukemia. Mckenna was an absolutely beautiful girl who fought Leukemia from the time she was 2 until her death 1 month after she turned 10.
Hearing this family's story about the pain they went through and the courage they have as they push towards their goal of 1 million dollars raised to aid in the fight against Leukemia takes my breath away.
I needed this moment to reflect on my own life and realize what a wonderful life I have. I am so lucky to have a beautiful, healthy 3 year old son and a wonderful life partner in Carl... how is it that I let myself go to a point where I need to be reminded about what counts in life? When did life become about objects, materials, money, the whole nine yards?
I need to remind myself that living is to slow down and enjoy each step of life and be grateful for what I have. Don't sweat the small stuff... and you've heard it before... It's all small stuff.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a 3 year old I need to snuggle up with.
Good night!!
