We need to keep and remember that feeling of being glad to be alive without almost dying.<br /><br />Lori - Even seemingly "bad" things such as a brain injury, a near drowning or having MS are really blessings in disguise and have many gifts to give us if we allow them. I would not have scripted my life this way, but I also would not change anything. <br /><br />One of my favorite sayings these days is "If you like where you are, you can't complain about how you got there."Debbie Hamptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14309781476253030113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174126926852256192.post-55758598363452066412010-06-01T21:12:42.694-04:002010-06-01T21:12:42.694-04:00Nice!

I was once caught in ...Nice! Excellent! Love this!<br /><br />I was once caught in a rip tide off the coast of Southern California and had a very similar experience. I remember thinking, "Wow, could this be *it*?" and then pulling out all the stops, finding almost inhuman energy to make it to safety. It was a memorable experience, to say the least.<br /><br />Sometimes I think it takes these "game changers" to wake us and help us remember the gift of life we've been given.<br /><br />Horay for you, Debbie! And, two thumbs for near drowning. It can teach us a lot, yes?<br />:DLori Franklinhttp://janebenimble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174126926852256192.post-65769673468689790032010-05-30T17:13:38.483-04:002010-05-30T17:13:38.483-04:00the trick is to keep that urgency about life as th...the trick is to keep that urgency about life as the days become mundane...Man Named Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299332753447389139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174126926852256192.post-35089177472822622932010-05-30T16:21:29.808-04:002010-05-30T16:21:29.808-04:00Thanks Paul...I mean Anonymous!! :)Thanks Paul...I mean Anonymous!! :)Debbie Hamptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14309781476253030113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174126926852256192.post-72721831651775693662010-05-30T15:58:01.643-04:002010-05-30T15:58:01.643-04:00nice one Hamps.

It is an instinctual part of human nature to survive. It is wonderful when you consciously get the head and the instincts working together to not only ensure surviving, but flourishing and thriving.
