Last week, I happened to catch the movie Deep Impact on TV—an asteroid races toward earth, hits the southeast coast of the US, and tidal waves wipe out the eastern seaboard within minutes. Then, last Friday, the Japan quake and tsunami. Taken in context, the special effects on TV were amazing; but the actual photos from Japan were horrifying. So many people dead with little or no warning, unable to escape in time.
Makes me think how life can change in the blink of an eye ... or a twitch of the ground. Makes me think about appreciating what I have while I have it. Makes me think I need to be sure to say 'thank you' and 'I love you' more ... before an unexpected blink of the eye takes away a person I love.
