"Am I really leading the life I want, or the life I need? Or am I running around without thinking where I'm going? Often we happily step on the treadmill believing we're going places, running faster and faster. But we rarely take a moment to think about our core beliefs or core desires. At times like this tragic event, one would be wise to take the time to truly think about what you want out of life. Dig deep. If you're thinking about material goods you aren't digging deep enough.

But as the Dalai Lama once said, "When you lose, don't lose the lesson." I think the lesson is very clear ... we never know when our time will run out. While I don't think we should live in fear of the end, we need to recognize that it can happen unexpectedly. And take the time each and every day to focus on what is important. We need to live our lives so that we leave a legacy that we want to leave. Vickie,

I think the lesson is very clear … we never know when our time will run out. While I don’t think we should live in fear of the end, we need to recognize that it can happen unexpectedly. And take the time each and every day to focus on what is important. We need to live our lives so that we leave a legacy that we want to leave.

The naval operation, a day after the debris was spotted off Brazil's coast, included two mini-submarines to recover the plane's black box flight recorders if they can be found in the depths of the Atlantic. Both Brazil's defense minister and a French military official have said there is no doubt the debris came from the mysterious crash. The first ships to arrive will be Brazilian, joining three cargo ships from France and the Netherlands that were rerouted to the area after debris from Air France flight AF447 was spotted. Brazil has announced three days of national mourning. Catholic and Muslim services are to be held in Paris, including one in Notre-Dame cathedral to be attended by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Just reading your posting brings me back to this past summer when he was gone. You never realize how much someone means to you until they're in the middle of a fire zone. As the wife of this wonderful paramedic I waited every day for my cell phone to ring. The days when he couldn't get out were very hard for me. Sometimes I didn't get to talk to him for a few at a time. I'm very fortunate to have him back home & within reach. : ) It is now late January.

We are often so unaware, so mindless in our actions that we are not even aware that we are making choices. Even when we avoid making a choice, that is a choice. I see this a lot with eating. People say they want to learn to be more "in control" of thier eating. I think it's really about being more "in charge" - being flexible and conscious enough to make decisions that feel right no matter what the external situation is! Conscious - another C!
