Celebration!

This entire weekend I celebrated my birthday in a completely different way. I had grown up not celebrating my birthday and last year I had a ER visit the day before this year I celebrated my life. Though as I was sitting and gave a thank you message to all my friends. I came to realize that everyday is a true blessing that we should be celebrating.
Sometimes I have a point to a message but not always. This one I sorta do I think. lol... I just hope that each of you can take the time out to celebrate yourself and realize how blessed we all really are.
I know I don't get on near as often as I use to and its not because I don't want to its because I can't right yet. I am starting to gradually regain my energy and in hopes I hope to send out my thoughts a little more often. I have still been pondering the entire meeting thing and I do believe that someday in the near future it will be happening it will just take time.
I pray that all of you can find peace and strength today to fight the battles in front of you and to celebrate what you have and are doing.

Blessings,
Tammy

yes tammy you are so right, its a shame that some of us it takes these kinds of things to make you realize it. I know Im one of those people. And I catch myself taking life for granted even now and I almost died. But most all the time I am grateful for getting a second chance because thats exactly what I reiceved and I know it. Im thankful for my wife of almost 30 years, my two wonderful daughters, and most of the time the breath that I have been granted. But I have to admit sometimes I do things that I know Im not supposed to do, because I am human, but 98% of the time now I do thank God for the second chance, just wish the other 2% that I do take life for granted that I could say 100% time i dont take life for granted. But sometimes I do. But I can truthfully say before this happened I probably took life for granted 50% of the time or more. And I thank god for friends like all of you on here and other friends in other places.
Thank you for typeing this letter so i could respond to it.

Tammy,

I know it's a little late, but I wanted to wish you a happy birthday anyway! I am glad that you are feeling a little better.
You are so right...we need to celebrate life! Since I found out about my heart condition, I am much more appreciative of the little things in life. My new favorite quote is "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
I would love to hear from you again, I really miss talking to you!

Take care and God bless!

Amanda

Thank You!

As I was writing this out the other day I was really hoping that it would help somebody out. Thanks for all the encouraging words. Amanda I miss you also. I really need to pick up a phone and call you sometime soon. I think of you often sweetie and really hope your starting to feel better.
Dave, I look forward to getting to know you a little more and let me tell you this I am pretty sure I am still at the 50% mark and have a lot of growing up to do. I sometimes would say I am at 90% but I am human as you said.
Magster, I am glad that your day went a little better and I pray that even today will be better emotionally and health wise. Be Blessed and know your cared about.
Ann, Welcome I hope you enjoy this site as much as I have for almost two years. I wish you comfort and peace through this time of healing.
