What’s On Your Mind Wednesdays

 

There is a lot on my mind today, so I am linking up with a newly discovered blogger, who’s blog I am loving. Tanya over at A Taste of Tanya has the cutest blog, and you should check it out. 

 

If you read my previous post for the Wednesday Wants, you’ll see what is preoccupying my mind today. Life is too short, and no one is guaranteed a tomorrow, so please don’t take today for granted and live as if it was your last day. And please, please, please keep the Higuchi family in your prayers.

I’m also wondering how well I did on my Chem quiz, I felt that I knew what I was doing, but honestly that’s when I get the worst grades, when I feel like I know.

The gloomy weather out here is making me really consider a move to Florida where we could live on the beach and go to a school a block away.

I am dreaming of taking a year to travel the world, maybe two.

I’m looking forward to the gym and Body Pump, hoping to get my knee working again. I also hope that it doesn’t start acting up again.

Really craving some Italian food, but really don’t know why.

And finally, I love Wednesdays because I get to have lunch with my grandfather who is my biggest fan. I love hearing his stories and enjoy his company over tuna sandwiches. While we are creatures of habit with our very predictable Wednesday lunches, it makes me dread the day when I am back to working full time and can’t make our lunches or when we move and I can’t have a weekly lunch with my grandpa.   

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday filled with joys and memories.

Life is too short

 

I only have one Wednesday want today, and it might be one that is hard to obtain. I wish I could take away the pain that the Higuchi family is feeling right now due to the loss of their son Ross.

I never knew Ross personally, but my younger brother went to high school with him, and it seems that a great deal of the Smoky Hill High School community knew him. My brother described him as a kid who was always happy, and he always put a smile on the faces of those around him.

It is an awful and unfortunate loss for our community to lose such a young, talented and happy individual.

  

I’d like to ask everyone to keep the Higuchi family in your thoughts, as they go through one of the hardest times in any person’s life.
