Thinking aloud..

Do you ever wonder if bad things happen just to make you remember that right now is important and that we weren't really appreciating what we had? Well today I do wonder this. And to me this is very much true. Whenever something bad happens it makes you realize how lucky you were before. And being in the very moment of this bad thing is making you live in the now. You now appreciate what you have and wish you hadn't taken it for granted. Doesn't that make you feel like it's not such a bad thing after all?
