The High Park Fire is now in its ninth day, with 141 homes destroyed in over 85 square miles.\u00a0 It’s the most destructive fire in Colorado’s history.<\/p>\n

I find that this event brings a sense of perspective to things, though.\u00a0 The community realizes that this is just possessions – things that can be replaced and weren’t inherently important to begin with.<\/p>\n

What’s important?\u00a0 The relationships that you have with those around you – family, friends, colleagues, customers.\u00a0 It’s exactly why people will save photographs from a burning house: It powerfully represents the relationships which are precious, even when memory starts to fade.<\/p>\n

We’re fortunate that this fire has only claimed one life out of the thousands displaced.\u00a0 It’s a testament to the hard work and selfless dedication of this country’s firefighters, who are risking life and limb to protect others’ possessions.<\/p>\n

Take time to recognize the precious things in your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
