It may be the fact that I am getting older, and possibly other variables may be coming into play as well, but regardless, it seems there are many uncomfortable and uncontrollable things happening in our world. Please know as you continue to read that my intent is not to be morose—the opposite, actually.

Here’s the thing: I have found that we can easily take our lives, and the people in them, for granted. From one moment to the next, we truly do not know how our life might change. Someone can be with us today and gone tomorrow.

Again, this is not a doom-and-gloom post! It is a gentle nudge to be present with our lives and loved ones, saying what needs to be said and feeling what needs to be felt. Do you feel complete within each of your relationships? Do you have resentments that you have held onto much beyond the point of reason? Do your special people know that they are special to you?

Today, take your individual inventory to uncover what needs to happen for you to feel complete. Share how you feel with those you love. Some beautiful conversations will flow, and some difficult ones will be released. Accepting this invitation may change your life (and someone else’s).
