random thought

Yesterday, I was out driving, and the traffic ahead of me was a bit hectic, and I suddenly found myself thinking: You take your life in your hands every time you get behind the wheel.

But then I thought: You take your life in your hands every time you go outside.

You take your life in your hands every time you open your eyes and sit up in bed every morning.

You take your life in your hands every time you draw a breath.

Basically, your life is always in your hands — that's where it belongs.

something I am grateful for today

Christmas lights.

On my way home tonight, it seemed to me that, this year, a lot more houses are putting up Christmas lights, and doing it earlier. I was really in the mood for them today and it cheered me to see them.
