The innocence of childhood is precious.
As we grow older we become exposed to reality. The true realities of life can be difficult to register.
Mankind has its flaws. Greed, jealousy, deceit, to name but a few.
Birth ultimately results in death.
Life is an incredible gift. Something which we should all treasure and try our damnedest to enjoy. Unfortunately, life can also throw the most unexpected twists and turns that veer us off track.
Why do good people suffer? Why do some people sail through life with little hardship while others find their time on Earth filled with torment and misery?
I arrived in the office on Monday morning to receive some news that stunned me. A colleague's husband had tragically died whilst they were walking together over the weekend. He wasn't ill. He missed his footing whilst they walked and fell and hit his head on a rock in the ground.
I can't process this sort of tragedy in my head. Moments earlier they were walking together, completely unaware of what was around the corner. One minute he was alive and well, the next he had been tragically stolen from her life.
There's no positive conclusion to today's post. However, the usual cliché applies; enjoy yourself and live life to the full.
