I was trying to think of some spectacular thing that has happened to me since this thread was posted. I couldn't find anything spectacular, but I did come to realize that all my family returned home safely Friday and I had an opportunity to talk to my children and let them know that I love them. I even spoke with my mother whom I hadn't spoken to in weeks. All in all it's been well.
It is so easy to get caught up in the big, spectacular things and miss the real moments. Let's all stay ever vigilant.
