And realize that life is the best thing ever, and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to take for granted the color of our kids'eyes, the way the melody in a symphony rises and falls and disappears and rises again……
It is so easy to exist instead of to live.
I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my option, it would never have been changed at all. And what Ilearned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
