There by the Grace of God go I?

[onearmedbandit]

I fully believe a lot of people need to experience a near death situation. I know, even though I had an appreciation for life before, that after mine I'm thankful (to no one) that I get to set foot upon this planet for another day. To enjoy the simple things, like going for a ride, parking up next to a river and listening to the birds sing. Sounds corny, but I nearly lost even that. So now, well now I appreciate everything. Even the bad.

Actually I feel kind of safe tonight, as the biggest defender of the freedom from religion on the forum is in a place that he cant do much about what I am posting

I just want to ask you all to take a moment, or 5 in the next little while to make sure that everyone you care about knows you care about them. Thank the people that have helped you, help people that you can.

Our time on this earth is short, and precious, make sure you have no regrets.

That's all.

I Understand completly where you are coming from. enough said.........

This is just a gentle prod to remind folk to make sure that the people that are important to them hear the words from you. Demonstrate you care.

Every day I make sure my kids know I love them and am very proud of them, and whenever possible spend quality time with them. It's something many of us grew up without but not something we should deny our children.

I won't leave the house without my kids (and missus of course) getting a kiss, a hug and a "Love you"

Nice one Anne! I know exactly what you mean.

I got some serious surgery going on the 20 Oct. Your words about having no regrets is the truth. If you look at the Grim Reaper without a clear conscience then he is going to make your life a misery. I got no regrets when I go under the knife. For that I am greatfull. Take heed of Moms words. Best advice ever.

Good luck for today ... let us know what happens ...

From time to time things happen to give us a jolt into just how precious life is, and how quickly and unexpectanly your number can come up. Lets just say I had a bit of a reminder on the weekend about how we should spend more time counting our blessings than worrying about the future.

There is but nothing that beats walking bare foot on the sand at the beach.

Mom! True words!
Get Maha to give you a great big "HUG" from me you are a very special lady!

Could you tell Stephen Dawkins followers that........

yup...the occasional near-death experience tends to keep the mind aware of those little pleasantries....

(as I sit on the front bedroom deck, on a fine sunny Wednesday morning, being overpowered by the smell of the flowers from the tree next to the deck, bees buzzing, Honeyeaters flitting around the front garden, Parrots, Kookaburras and Magpies racketing in the background, gentle murmur from the wind in the bush across the road...on KB when I should be working.....it's good to just appreciate what and who you have and what's really important...)

Taking time to let your friends and family know how much you care/love is very important.
As is doing the same for yourself.

If full of care
We have not time
