Earthquake in our small town!

Was on my way to the fridge to get some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream when the whole house started to shake. At first, I thought I was going crazy. I picked up the phone to call my sister in law who lives a couple blocks away to confirm we had just witnessed an earthquake. I ended up calling the wrong number, but the guy on the line informed me that he was from our same town and we indeed experience an earthquake. It was the magnitude of 4.1
Crazy, it has been forever since we last had an earthquake in this town. Probably will be the talk around here for a good couple of weeks. Scary, but interesting!
Got me thinking quiet a bit about dying to be perfectly honest. Would Connor be ok? Would I be remembered? Did I do enough with my life? You know all the questions one would ask. Probably best not to dwell on it, but I could not help the thoughts to cross my mind.
The one good thing about thinking any day could be your last is living it to it's fullest. Wanting to be a better person. It is hard sometimes to try to be the best you can be every minute of every day.
What can I do to make this day count?----I need this question in the front of my mind at all times!

I think that's kind of exciting! LOL I should probably be more worried! Kind of funny I think there was 21 posts on fb about it! You're the first to blog about it though ;)

haha I know...I figured FB had a billion so why not blog about it. It was kind of exciting, which we normally don't have to much excitement down here.
