Live In the Moment!

So, my loving mother went off on one of her life speeches. Unfortunatley, my adolescent stubborn self was ignoring her. My monthly gift was also a contributing factor. I wasn't ignoring fully though, because I was listening, but I didn't really want to hear it. She was telling me I need to stop worrying about everything. I just need to take life as it comes and live in the moment. Thats not always an easy thing to do for me though. I wish it was, but I do worry about my future. I think a little worrying is okay, but my obsessive worrying is not. I just need to take things as they come. But not just me. Alot of my fellow bloggers need this same speech. Each day is a gift! And not one day is guarenteed. So don't take them for granted, and make the most of it.

That was very philosophical! I think I am on a life rant because a very dear friend of mine just found out she had cancer. It really, really bothers me. She has to go through chemo, and it is just awful. I know there isn't a situation where its not awful , and that many people have gone through this before. But when you hear those stories of people you don't know, your sympathetic and feel awful. But for me, when it is someone I know, my heart just breaks thinking about it. Life is sooo not fair. Why must bad things happen to good people? I think that good people are strong enough to handle it. But in the case with my neice, my sister did everything right throughout her pregnancy, and she had complications and was in the nicu. But there can be idiotic mothers who smoke and drink the whole time they are pregnant and their baby will be just fine. Sometimes I just don't understand, but life isn't suppose to be understanding all of the time. Isn't it just a lovely little mess we get wrapped up into. Kind of like love.
