A thought for Thursday: {Life Lessons}

With a recent series of unusual events,

I have been ruminating about the value and delicacy of life.

I remembered this e-mail I received a few years ago and believe it fits

perfectly with my recent thoughts about life.

Life Lessons

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that

wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once

and it's harder every time.

You'll break hearts too,

so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You'll fight with your best friend.

You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.

You'll cry because time is passing too fast,

and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never

been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset

is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Don't be afraid that your life will end,

be afraid that it will never begin."
