Bonus Time!
On this day (June 30) seventeen years ago, I was on an operating table having open heart surgery to repair a failing heart valve.
The surgery saved my life, without it I would have been gone from this world long ago.
This time of year I am always reminded of what an incredible gift life is.
I am so grateful for this “bonus time” that I get to be here on earth with my wonderful family, friends, and community.
Sometimes I forget and start taking life for granted.
It’s so easy to get caught up in day-to-day concerns and forget what a miracle it is just to be alive.
I love having this annual reminder to be grateful.
I am so grateful to the surgeons and medical team who took care of me.
I am so grateful to my wonderful family and friends for their ongoing love and support.
I am so grateful to our beautiful earth home.
And I am so grateful for all of you who read my posts and emails - thank you for your interest and support, I appreciate you very much!
Love,
Liz
