Absolutely! Absolutely!
About 12 years ago I almost got taken out by Pneumonia--Antibiotics, surgery, and three months rest put me back on the street.
I can take a deep breath now and have BOTH sides of my chest raise--and I give a prayer of thanks for something I never even thought twice about before.
Today, I hope to get in 15 km. of nordic on a great sunny day with the temp about 20.
Every day, every breath is a gift--Enjoy it.
Life is a gift. I am happy and thankful for it. I've lost my dad and 2 of my good dogs in the past few months, which for me kind of puts it in perspective when those you love go away and you are left behind. Soon our time will come. But no need to rush it. Get on the sendtrain and enjoy the ride.

I nearly hit someone walking across the road in the rain in the dark wearing black. I am GLAD that I missed them, literally by inches. That took one of my lives.
