I am a regular on the Amtrak route from Washington to Philadelphia and New York and saddened by this tragic accident. It is shocking that in one moment your life could be altered or even ended. I feel for those that have been so impacted by this event, and it reinforces the belief that I have had for most of my life to seize the day. Someday may not exist for any of us, and so living our lives to the fullest and following those dreams that make our days so worthwhile makes more and more sense. I pray for those injured and especially for the families who waited for loved ones that will never come home. I also reinforce my conviction that time is precious, and so today and hopefully everyday forward I will do my best to make my life and the lives of all I encounter filled with meaning and purpose.
