March 4, 2025: The Close Calls

Tonight, we received the news that a family member was injured in an accident.

It was serious. Just a few inches, a split second, and it could have been much worse.

There’s something about close calls that jolt me out of taking each day for granted. I’m reminded of the fragility of life. How things can flip upside down in a heartbeat. And how so much of what I worry about is trivial.

In these moments, I’m thankful for the steady strength of loved ones. How we come together and carry each other when the world feels heavy, when the hours grow dark.

Maybe close calls are life’s way of whispering, Cherish The Now.
