Just another reminder to treasure our “ordinary” days...the most unexpected thing can come along and change your life forever.

Good reminder for all of us.

Although I am not an Eastern religion cult believer myself, I used to have a new age magazine cover I put up at work with a natural scene and a Sri Paramahansa Yogananda (Autobiography of a Yogi author) quotation:

Be thankful to have the blessing of one ordinary day.

I had gone through having my precious wife in the hospital for 54 days and thanks be to God she made it back for 22 years before dying suddenly at home in February of last year. Those "ordinary" days when she could be happy at home were all blessings.

I tried to remember each day was something for which to be thankful to God.
