Shaken

"It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.  

"So it is."  "And freezing."  "Is it?"  

"Yes," said Eeyore.  

"However," he said, brightening up a little, 

"we haven't had an earthquake lately."  

~A.A. Milne

Shaken
Life is unpredictable and those on the east coast attested to that yesterday!  After life shakes you up, sometimes literally, the question becomes what did that awaken inside of you?  Did it make you assess the quality of your life?  The state of your relationships?  Your current situation in general?  We get shaken up when we need to pay more attention.  So let this be an awakening for us all.  Don't wait to tell someone you love them.  Don't wait to go for that new opportunity.  Don't wait to grab your brass ring.   Realize that when life shakes you up, it's time to refocus and move forward fearlessly.
