I’ve been thinking recently about how fragile and so precious life is.
You see, my precious Dad, Homer, had his left lung collapse 3 times in the last few months.
As I flew to Ohio to be with him, I was honored to be his advocate while in the hospital.
Because years ago, I was a nurse, I still have the love and passion for this field. I enjoy doing research on many things.
Pulmonary medicine has so many updates, I learned lots about how they’re now using robotics to provide less invasive surgeries.
It seems to me, as I have gotten older, I’m aware more of how fragile and so precious life is.
Furthermore, if you have been reading my articles for the last 10 years, you know I speak often about slowing down, paying attention and appreciating.
I’m also reminded to make time for those people and things that matter in your life. It may be easy to get caught up in the busyness of your life, right?
Living with few regrets, helps you to live more of a life you love and enjoy.
Have you thought about someone and think to yourself you need to reach out and connect with them?
If you don’t listen to this intuition when it comes, sometimes you may regret it. You might hear that this person passed away or was in need in some way.
I’m here to encourage you to listen when these thoughts come into your mind and heart.
The more I have listened, the more peace I live within.
In addition to taking time for who and what matters, let go of what doesn’t. This will help you experience how precious life is.
Consequently, as you cherish, appreciate and show love to those that matter often, you will find it easier to let go of the things that bother you.
I’m so very grateful I spent the time with my Dad and my siblings.
What a gift that was!
The time I spent with family while I was there was priceless.
Who can you reach out to and let know you are thinking of them?
Do it today!
Finally, Dad is healing and his lung is almost fully expanded at this time, with no surgery.
My prayer is it will stay that way. Dad is a very active, with it, fun, loving man. He still has lots of living to do!
With love and appreciation,
Connie
