My heart aches for those suffering in Japan. It's truly overwhelming. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing it all on my own, and then something happens and I realize that I have no control over certain things. Perspective is a powerful thing. Thanks for reminding me to be grateful and not take things for granted.Michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03554921225557586137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432798588865522942.post-26444084140027637462011-03-14T19:22:04.787-07:002011-03-14T19:22:04.787-07:00Shannon, your post is beautiful.

The events in Japan as well as what you witnessed at Target of all places reminds us we aren't in control.

You ar...Hi Shannon,<br>Thank you for visiting my blog. You are so right; life can change in an instant. I try my very best to cherish each and every day I spend with my children, my husband, my friends and family. Because you just never know. I have a friend who lost her little boy in a car accident when he was just 3 years old. She misses him terribly (he would have been 9 on Sunday) but yet she says she has no regrets. She spent those 3 years loving him and spending a lot of time with him, and enjoyed him to the fullest. It makes me happy that she has no "I wish I would have...." thoughts lingering in her mind. When I'm busy, super busy around this house, and my two-year-old comes up to me with her older sister's nail polish and asks, "Mommy...you paint my nails, pweeeze?" I stop whatever I'm doing and I take the two minutes that it takes to paint her nails. It makes her so happy. Little things like that make her so happy.<br><br>No regrets ;)<br><br>Love your blog - I'm a new follower!Katrina @ They All Call Me Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432798588865522942.post-21855121635505414082011-03-15T10:57:59.556-07:002011-03-15T10:57:59.556-07:00Oh, and if you really want to read an inspirationa...Oh, and if you really want to read an inspirational blog...one that will uplift you even in your worst of moods, and will put life into perspective always, check out Kelle Hampton's "Enjoying the Small Things" at http://www.kellehampton.com/ and be sure to begin at Nella's birth story.
