[day 106-110: blink]

it's crazy how some things can change in the
[blink]
of an eye.
literally.

like when you're watching traffic
or a sunset
or the ocean
or even your life.
maybe it's somebody else's life.

today, i learned of an incident
where a child was hit by a car, and lost his life.
that is something that happened
in a [blink]

and that one [blink]
completely changed the lives of that family
forever.

last night, i heard the story of a head-on collision
that killed two and seriously injured another...
that happened in a [blink]

my heart and prayers go out to all of those
whose lives have been affected by these sad stories.
i can't even imagine.

seriously, think about how short a [blink] is.
according to google, one blink is about
150 milliseconds.

that's basically nothing.

there are a lot of happy things that happen
in 150 milliseconds though.

babies are brought to our world,
high schoolers graduate,
and life goes on.

there are a lot of 150 milliseconds in every day...
[according to google, there are 86,400,000]

hopefully i am making good use of all of those.
sheesh.
