Today, as I was leaving church, I saw a couple I have seen at Mass for 23 years. I have been part of this church community since 2002, and seeing them has become one of those familiar, ordinary parts of life.

But today the wife was helping her husband get out of the car. He looked so fragile, and he seemed unable to get out or walk independently.

I don’t know what they are going through, and I won’t pretend to know their story. But seeing them stopped me in my tracks.

I stood in that parking lot in tears.

Oh, Lord, thank You, thank You for the gift of being alive, for my health, my family, for the ability to move my body, walk on my own, and participate in the simple, everyday moments I can so easily take for granted.

It reminded me how quickly life can change, and how none of us should assume that tomorrow will look exactly like today.

❤️ Please, be kind to yourself, be kind to others. Take care of your health the best you can, rest when you need to, make the call, take the trip, wear the outfit, use the beautiful things you’ve been saving. Tell the people you love how much they mean to you.

And please, stop postponing joy until some future date when life is supposedly perfect.

Do not save everything for a special occasion. Being alive is the special occasion.

You are worth the care, the love, and the effort it takes to nurture your health. Never take the gift of today for granted.

Happy Sunday

With love,
Agatha
