Realization - Life is way to short

We had a funeral to go to for a man who I first met when I started going out with my now husband.  I went with hubby and I said to him its quite sad that you will never really know how many people you have touched in your life until you pass, and you never really get to see that in any other situation while alive, because people have made their own choice to come to your final farewell, (invitations are never get sent out for funerals).

A couple of other things with funerals is it is a way that you get to catch up with people you haven't seen in some time and as lovely as that is it is to see them it is a shame its in these circumstances, and it really makes you want to see them more often, also getting an incite into their life seeing how much they have achieved,just how much they are loved etc, I only knew  a tiny part of this mans amazing life, and to hear what he had done was incredible, and I really hope that I might be able to have even a little bit of what this man has achieved.

 It has made me realize that I actually need to get involved more in my community, (I haven't a clue of what, but I am totally open to new exciting opportunities), maybe a committee of some sort or volunteer.  

A couple of days ago I said I wanted to give new things ago so I figure I'm putting  this out into the universe so now I will wait to see what it brings

I am certainly feeling like a weight has been lifted off me, can't put my finger on it exactly maybe its the fact I'm getting rid of negativeness and concentrating on positive thoughts, maybe its the fact that I am excited for what this year is going to bring, new people, new opportunities, new me, maybe the fact that hubby and I are getting a bit more of our time now that the kids are a bit older, I really don't know what it is but I sure as heck hope that this continues 

To you all I hope your year is as great as I am picturing mine is going to be, with a lot more laughs, memories and hope.

Take care of you and your loved ones because as I realized today life is way to short xo
