Title: Today is a new day
Post by: Duane on April 26, 2007, 07:17:35 AM
Greetings Family
I just want to share a quote from a book i read every day and today this passage inspired me.

Psalms 118:24  This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

I have so much to be grateful for, so in spite of health, knowing this i will rejoice and share my joy with everyone.

I Love You

We realized a long time ago that you live for today because who knows what tomorrow brings. If you want to do something or have something do it now because life is so fragile that otherwise you may not get to enjoy it.  Live each day to its fullest!!

We indeed have to be thankful for everyday and treat it as a gift.   As they say, that is why it is called the present.  I am just happy to be alive and able to see my grandson grow up.  I am also thankful that, although I am technically on life-support, I can still work and enjoy everything (even with a fluid limit and 3 days a week dialysis).
I must admit to feeling a bit trapped because I can't travel as I used to, but I am thankful for the travelling that I have done, in Europe and the Caribbean and New York.  I cannot complain.  Many who are well have not had the experiences that I have had, so I can take it easy now.

That's so true.  I appreciate little things now like the warm sunshine after such a long cold winter.  I see things differently now, I can see the good in things, in everything.  Life is what you make it, I control my life dialysis does not control me.
