OMG; that's beyond tragic. The second of the two articles has me in tears. What a wonderful couple, and how senseless that they were hit by someone recklessly reading a map while driving. The fact that the driver didn't appear to be "talking on a cell phone" as mentioned in the first article misses the point. There's certainly more than way to be distracted while driving, and none of them are particularly excusable.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
