While leaving this life at a ripe old age snuggled warmly in our bed surrounded by our loved ones is the most popular and preferred method of
departure, the prospect of the variables hovers in the back of our mind. That prospect is what reminds us to say I love you every day. It is the variables that remind us to absorb and experience each sunset. It is the variables that tell us to turn down the volume of life’s chaos in order to truly listen to the laughter of a child. Because the variables remind us that tomorrow (or the rest of today for that matter) is guaranteed to no one.
I believe the reason for the presence of these unpredictable variables is to encourage us to become more grateful, feel more content and realize how
truly blessed we are in this life. If it were all guaranteed, no doubt it would then be taken for granted. The only way to truly realize and appreciate the magnificence of life is to know that we run the inherent risk of losing it,
each and every day.
