I was just talking today about the deaths, birth, car acccidents, surgery, and other events that have filled my days in the past couple of weeks. As I thought about all of these events, I remembered talking to my dad once, complaining to him that I felt I was just living from crisis to crisis. His response was, “Welcome to life!” As I thought about that, I had the realization that I have a rich life… birth, illness, death, problems, love, all of it. It truly is a beautiful life!
