I was a hospice social worker for two years and probably attended
to 300 deaths during that time. I learned much about life from the dying. Not
one told me they wished they had spent more time at work, cutting the
grass, working on the house, collecting more "stuff", etc. Rather, I was
warned by each to spend more time with my family and to avoid
worrying about what really does not matter.
Then, in Sept. 2004, I lost an eye to a rare cancer. That I live to tell of
it is a miracle. If that did not put manners on me, my wife's cancer dignosis in
May 2005 sure did. I live life very differently now, understanding that
each day is a gift. All of us could be but 3 seconds from ruin.
The greatest lesson about life that I learned came from another cancer
survivor. She said: In life there are problems and there are inconveniences.
Never, Never, confuse the two.
How often do we carry on about inconveniences? Blessings to all.
