Lightly child, lightly.

~ Live & Learn

Isn’t it wonderful to be alive?

You know, you can forget all about it.

Then suddenly you remember, and think of all the things you can do. Here I am. I can walk around. I can talk. I can see things and remember things.

I am alive.

How wonderful.

~ Sophia Loren

  7. It is so wonderful we are alive.
    I slept all night on a sofa at Montréal Neuro Hospital. Yesterday my son had back surgery. He’s the youngest patient by far.

    I woke up at 3:15 am to the daughter in the next door room crying. She lost her mom while we were sleeping right next door.

    Yes, tonight I remembered I was alive and healthy and blessed and grateful. Son is doing great too. It was a sports injury.
