Sweet Relief

It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it were the only one we had. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

The love we give away is the only love we keep.
Elbert Hubbard

Life is full of cruel, bitter ironies. One minute, we can joke about something, the next, it's a serious issue we didn't really consider.
Because this is our life, those kinds of things don't happen to us.

But they do, and they inevitably will.

Like saying, "I should probably put this in my wallet," then casually discarding it, figuring it's not so important...only to wake up and find...it's more crucial than you wanted it to be.

But thank God for the little ironies that help us.

Like people being in the right place at the right time, there to help you when you need it most. Complete strangers who all come together, when a moment before, they never would have.

*hugs God* What a day. I feel tired, drained, but there's someone I know who is worse off than me, and suddenly, I feel it's my duty to watch over him.
I suddenly feel weighed down with so much responsibility. I'm so accustomed to Mommy and Daddy taking care of everything for me, trying to take care of another is so strange. So foreign. And embarrassing, because I have no clue what to do!!!

But we made it through today, and now that the shock has worn off, i'm happy to be away from those white-washed walls, in the "safety" and "comfort" of a dorm...feeling like a pseudo-mother. lol

Hope everyone is well. I send out all my love to every single one of you.

*dramatic sigh* I'm ready to curl up with a book, a blanket, and some sort of coffee or cocoa and just...not worry. lol

Lovingly yours,

Chelle
