Today, we celebrated the birthday of one of my nephews, who turns eight this Sunday. I also exchanged several text messages with the mother of my best friend, who has been in the hospital all this last week, undergoing several treatments for his recently diagnosed leukemia. This all reminded me of the value of life and the importance of appreciating it and enjoying it while we can. We only get one opportunity to experience mortality, and it's anyone's guess how long or short that experience will be. So, we would do well to make the experience count for something, to leave the world better than we found it, and to enjoy the experience while it lasts.
