In A New York Minute, Everything Can Change

Seeing the wreck on I-94 has me feeling melancholy and introspective.

We get so involved in the petty little things that add up to the stresses of our lives, and then in an instance, everything can change. Things can immediately turn and become crystal clear. Tragically, it takes some kind of disaster — large or small — to bring that perspective to us.

I remember several years ago, a driver was killed on I-94 near Kalamazoo, when a tire off a truck flew through the windshield of the car trailing it. The driver, who was killed, was the father of my son's friend. Just like that. Everything changed. 9/11. Everything changed, just like that. Earlier this week in Paris. Just like that.

My only point is. Make sure you tell everyone important in your life that you love them. And give them a hug.
