A wise friend taught me that everything in life is ephemeral. Your home, your job, your good health, your best friend, the love of your life, any of these things can be taken from you without notice. If significant loss is destined to happen, you are powerless to stop it. We can never count on anyone or any thing. The best that we can do is to enjoy what we have today, in this moment, realizing that life will be different tomorrow, and to let people know that they are loved and appreciated, with the understanding that it may not make a difference.
