life lessons

cute apron & all!

i learned a huge lesson today. in the midst of my stressing about what things i hadn't gotten done yet for my business {not the day-to-day things, but just the massive to-do list i have of things i want to do}, or worrying what blogs i should be catching up on...i got a phone call from the maryland state police, saying my mom was in an accident. a semi truck ran over her car and dragged her 50 feet, and thank the good Lord, she was ok.

i am still in shock from this experience but of course my beautiful, strong willed mother is fine, just a little bruised, but just happy to be alive.

i however, am still shaken up because, not to harp on the "shoulda, coulda, woulda," but, i almost lost her...one of the most important people in the world to me, who makes me who i am. she is my best friend, my creative inspiration, and the best support system anyone could have. her guardian angel was with her yesterday and i cannot praise God enough for this miracle he blessed us with yesterday.

i am so upset with myself that i pined over such small things when bigger things were happening at that exact same moment. it is a hard reminder to me that i need to stop worrying about the small stuff. things WILL get done, and there is no use stressing over things i don't have time yet to do. eventually i will. and in the mean time, i am going to go share more moments with my mama. cause right now, that is the number one thing on my to-do list.
