Different people celebrate anniversaries in different ways. This past week, I had an anniversary - of sorts. Two years ago I had a massive heart attack that resulted in a severely damage heart. Fortunately, a few months later, my heart had recovered enough strength that a quadruple by pass was performed and today I am fine and in probably better shape than before the attack.
This anniversary is not an anniversary of the heart attack, but an anniversary of the aftermath and my "new life" . I could have as easily succumbed to the damage as well as survive it. For me, I knew I had to survive as I had many things in life that I wanted to do before I grew too old or frail.
And so, with this week, I continue on, a little more cautious and insightful to the signs my body sends out, but filled with the spirit of having the time now and in the future to truly enjoy life and living.

When you have a 'near miss' and life throws you a line - grab it with both hands enjoy every second.
It is like being born again, and you cherish every minute of every day.
Good health and happiness
Some how, I think my situation made me realize that this is a chance for me to do a better job making myself happy - not in a selfish sense but in a satisfied or contented sense. Taking the time to decide "if" I want to do something rather than "must" I do.
