Every breath you take …

Take a moment this morning to read this chilling blog of a woman who went into the mall and bought dinner. She then "felt" the need to get fresh air.

Three minutes later, while she is outside, a gunman opens fire in the mall.

She puts it together in part this way:

"I say all the time that every moment we have to live our life is a blessing. So often I have found myself taking it for granted. Every hug from a family member. Every laugh we share with friends. Even the times of solitude are all blessings. Every second of every day is a gift. After Saturday evening, I know I truly understand how blessed I am for each second I am given.

"I feel like I am overreacting about what I experienced. But I can’t help but be thankful for whatever caused me to make the choices that I made that day. My mind keeps replaying what I saw over in my head. I hope the victims make a full recovery. I wish I could shake this odd feeling from my chest. The feeling that’s reminding me how blessed I am. The same feeling that made me leave the Eaton Center. The feeling that may have potentially saved my life.

Hummm. "Every moment we have to live our life is a blessing."

A worthy motto, I think. Here's the full story. Read it.
