I am sick today. Tummy bug. While resting at home, between sleeps I had the chance to catch Oprah. Though not a huge fan today's show featured an intriguing story . It was about a woman who forgot her daughter was in her car. The little girl died tragically after being left in the hot car 8 hours. I don't want to get into "how could a woman do that?" or any argument about the scene. It has passed and it has happened, and it is horribly tragic. Instead, I find that my question is "Why this story on Oprah?"
I think it's because this woman, in the most unfortunate way, learned that each moment in our lives needs to be lived in the present. When distracted by the determination to get to the next moment, getting to work on time, she completely forgot the present, and the consequences were devastating
