Is Reflection An Age Acquired Talent?

The last 24 hours has been very exhausting.

It all started last night around 9pm when storms moved through the area. The storms developed quickly and people were caught off guard. Before the night was over, a tornado ripped through downtown Atlanta and we were watching a line of strong storms coming over the state line.

Twenty four hours later I am sitting here reflecting on all that has transpired and I cannot help but think about those whose lives were lost and my own mortality. I guess this is something that comes with age, because I don't remember doing this after earthquakes or other events when I lived out west.

I spent an hour this evening making sure all of my important papers were in order, I don't know why, it just made me feel better. I do know, that if I didn't already have life insurance provided by my employer, I would be looking to purchase a universal life insurance policy right now, because with the way the storms were just missing us last night, it's just a matter of time before we pull the short straw.
