There is a time and a purpose for everything under heaven.  Yesterday, I lost a dear friend.  He was a kind, funny , loving spirit.  And his death was totally unexpected.  And while that shocks and saddens me horribly, I feel very optimistic.  His passing has reminded me, once again, that life is short...way too short, and is to be lived with all the love and joy we can possibly  handle.  Work hard, play harder...and love with all that you have.   Stop and smell the flowers, Get dirty, blow bubbles, walk in the rain, give butterfly kisses, hold hands, sing at the top of your lungs, be grateful, make friends,  believe in magic, follow your heart, listen to your muse, always repay a kindness...and when your time comes, arrive on the other side....and say...."Whoa, what a ride!!!" (sorry, I know someone else said that, but it's true).  Sorry, for the sermon, but I guess that my friends passing just reminded me that life is short...and we need to live with everything that we've got....because there is a time and a purpose for everything under heaven!  Peace and blessings to all, Kim
