Today my Father celebrates his 84th birthday. We all celebrate with him because 32 years ago, we almost lost him. He suffered a massive coronary and it is only the grace of God and the efforts of good doctors that he is with us today. He has about one quarter of his heart which has been hanging on all these years...truly a miracle.
This past year, my cousin suffered a severe spinal cord injury and is now in a wheelchair. The accident stunned us all and has caused every family member to take a step back and consider things more seriously. That accident forced me to make a conscious daily effort to keep an "attitude of gratitude" and to stop myself from complaining as many times as I can check myself.
Walked two hours tonight and considered life. In a very broken world, my life is pretty good. Shut up. Get going. Carpe Diem. And celebrate every day...not just on your birthday!
