Life's Sweet Reminders

I love the reminders we get from time to time, telling us we are alive! Showing us in ways, both large and small, that Life is precious and fragile. I want to live my life to the fullest and learn all of the many histories and inventions of the world, from the Egyptian pyramids to the internal combustion engine. I appreciate the delicate reminder to slow down, especially when I don't realize I just might be going too fast to enjoy it all! For example, setting up the canopy at the racetrack and my friend has to tell me "One thing at a time, Erika!" when I didn't even realize I was trying to do two things at once (unfortunately, I think he was really frustrated with me that day, oops! :) It really struck a chord in me, about the way I do things sometimes! It was nice to have someone around make that clear to me, even in its small measure.
