There are two things that make me seriously reconsider how I’m living my day-to-day life, one is a great vacation and the other is death. Last weekend I experienced both.
Saturday I returned from Oahu, one of my new favorite places. Several hours later I heard that one of Jimmy’s college roommates died tragically in a car accident. I felt like I had experienced life at its finest while he had the last moments of his. All I could think is what would I do differently if I knew I had only a little time left? If I died tomorrow would I be satisfied with how I lived?
Although there are many goals I haven’t accomplished and places I have yet to visit, this morning I had some clarity. As I sat on the beach watching Jimmy surf I realized my life is amazing. God has blessed me immensely. Yes I have things that I would love to change, but this truly is the life. I have a palm tree out my window, sand on my feet, and somebody that I love. What more do I really need?
Until next time,
Kaycee
