Time to Smell the Roses.... and

I am another survivor! Put simply- the second surgery resulted in a response, "they got it the first time". This is good- NO- wait- GREAT news! I am so excited. but a little part of me thinks just maybe.... well- we all know what to do with THOSE thoughts: F 'em. Today I am a survivor.
While I have been recuperating, I came down with several more common illnesses such as the flu, bronchitis, stomache, etcetc. For the first time in my life, I have been asking a few close friends to pray for me! Wow- humility? Or Faith? I am sooo tired of being ill, post-surgery etc. I have never taken my health for granted (except during those party dayz), but I have always been greatful for my usual good health. Now what's up?
I was driving back from work this eve, (about a 80 mile drive today-one way) and as I went over a bridge I noticed the sun was set, the dusk was in it's infinite stages, you know the light just beginning to dimm into the nights darkness, when I felt a feeling of peace and happiness. I used to want to take a picture (yes I shoot WHILE i drive!) of it to hurry and save it to my mind-bank, but I just looked at it today. More than that, I really looked into it!. I thought of dreams, past lives, living in the moment -ALL at the same time! I felt secure, no need to hurry home to see what's up, ya know. I was happy in that moment. Then it came to me....
I really was just driving a wheeled-machine over a round ball in the sky. That if someone was looking down, it would look like a board game, like Monolopy or something- and just be (oh here I go again "How do I explain my thoughts?") insignificant and significant all at the same time. A miracle that any of this exists and then the buildings got closer, lights brighter, traffic heavier and I slammed back down to earth from my magic carpet ride. But what I want to take from tonights experience is to remember that I AM healthy now. The cough is fading, the jobs are pouring in and I have yet another thing to be greatful for: Life. Now, if I can learn to really enjoy it and not stop myself from really living it. all awhile stopping to notice these wonderful moments of beauty and smell the roses.
