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.

It’s the little things we forget to appreciate.
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.
Wow. And so glad to hear your Son is doing well.
Thankful, your son is doing well…did you move?
Thank you Christie. I still live in Chicago. I moved from Montréal to chicago in 2003. My parents and siblings are still in canada. My sons are Canadian , were born in Montréal. Both of them are back here attending university.
I can’t comment any better than what Sawsan experienced…that was a revealing moment of gratitude. But…Sophia’s eyes !!
So agree..
Sophia Loren radiates life…and as I say, Each Breath Is A Gift…
She does.
Thank you for sharing one who shares such beauty within and without. I just forwarded this to a long time dear friend who looks a great deal like Sophia (she lives in your neighborhood–Darien–David) and is also beautiful within.
Awww. Thanks Valerie.
