Words of Wisdom

"If you never have any bad days how will you know when you have a good one?" This was said to me by a palliative patient and it makes perfect sense. We often complain, me definitely included, about stuff but we sometimes forget it's just stuff! Who cares that it's raining or if it's a little hot or that it's snowing, however I do love the snow. We are so lucky and fortunate sometimes that we take things for granted. I see this patient and amongst all of what's going on in his life he still see's the positive and that's amazing. I have to admit that sometimes I get carried away with what's going to happen tomorrow or next week or next year that I forget that it's today. We have to enjoy life a little more than we do cause isn't that what's it's all about?? In the end I never want to say " I wish I would have done that." It's amazing what you can learn when you want to.
