As we go through life, we certainly take some things for granted. These things my take the tangible form of people close to us, or the intangible moments that we let pass by. Charge it on perhaps my age getting the better of me, but I would certainly like to think that I have some measure of maturity in me. Somehow, I have come to look at things from an entirely different perspective than say, 5 years ago. I have come to the realization that what we have, can all be taken away from just in just a snap of a finger. In that way, it keeps me grounded, and hopefully value the many gifts and blessings that I have. Like loose diamonds, moments we have with our loved ones should be cherished, for we never know what would happen in the future. As Ralph Waldo Emerson would put it,
“Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.“
