Do you ever wonder if there is a place that we are supposed to be at a certain moment for a certain reason? If there is, what is our purpose for being where we are now? And what happens if we miss it?
I guess what I am trying to say is that I want to live with intentionality. We only ever get each moment once. What are I going to do with that moment?
Certain people come into and out of our lives for certain reasons. We may not know for years what those reasons are, but while they are here, we must make the most of it. Cherish those people, love them, remember them. Memory is the most fickle goddess, but the greatest friend to have when you are alone, perhaps. Either pain or pleasure can be derived from memory, but memory in itself, in existing, is a good - it teaches, instructs, reveals, and redeems hardships. Even one day it will be good to look back on these things. Vergil.
But remember to stop, breath in the snowy air, walk with friends, laugh, because there is too much sorrow in the world, and if we never took the time to do these things, we would never have the best of memory. I guess what I am trying to say is that I am thankful. Truly.

"This is the time to remember
'Cause it will not last forever
These are the daysto hold on to
'Cause we won't although we'll want to."
One good Billy Joel reference deserves another.
I think Erin and I are thankful too. Very thankful.
