All too quickly, life somehow just happens. One day I’m complaining to my parents about having to wear shoes, and the next day our high school principal is telling me, “Billy if I see you walking around with your blue tennis shoes untied again, you’ve had it!” And then, I’m tightening the laces on my jump boots, checking the 21 rounds for my 45, and securing the 420 rounds for my M16, as the jump master says, “GO!” Was it minutes, days or years when I am taking my first step after breaking my back and not walking for almost two years? I was barefoot and scared, but so very mindful of where I had been, even if life had somehow just happened. Be mindful of how life happens today.
