I Didn't See That One Coming

Yesterday I learned that a person I know professionally but don't know all that well personally was taken to the hospital and is on life support. To say that I was stunned by the news would be a gross understatement. One day the person is here, alive and alert. The next day? Not so much. It is yet another example of how fragile life is. I went to bed frustrated about some aspects of my life. I am awake now because I find myself making new commitments about how I want to live if this turns out to be my last conscious moment on this planet. writing here is one way to anchor that commitment.
