It could have been different

My wife had an operation recently.

We thought we were lucky to get it done privately now, rather than wait over a year to be done via public health service.

Only after getting it done did we realise that waiting that year could have proven fatal.

Before the operation, we weren’t especially focused on how fortunate we are to be alive.

We are now.

What a shame that it takes the risk of loss to appreciate what we have.

What a blessing to be reminded without loss taking place.

This is your reminder.

Live fully, create bravely, focus on what matters.
