My friend Kari Mason

I got some really sad news today. My friend, Kari Mason, died on Monday. It feels strange that she's been gone all week and I just found out today. She is the most amazing person. I met her through church when I lived in Draper. I just can't stop crying about it. It seems so unfair that she should die so young with three kids. Kari's experience with breast cancer has made me feel so grateful for my health. She's the kind of person that I never heard complain or say negative things about anyone.
I seem to spend a lot of time complaining about my kids, my body, and things I want but don't have. And yet there are times I want to pinch myself because I have everything I've ever wanted. I'm going to try harder to embrace those moments when I realize all the good in my life. I want to be the kind of person that Kari is. A positive influence. Appreciative of my friends and family. Love my kids a little more. Be happy to be in the moment.
Sorry for the soul searching. I guess that's normal when someone dies. If you have a minute, check out the website for Kari and if you have extra money that you want to give to her charity.
