Take the time to watch the following video, then ...

... take the time to be thankful always.

Personally, if it hadn't been for first responders, I wouldn't be here today. I was in a near-fatal diving accident, hitting my head on bottom of pool in what turned out to be no more than 4 feet of water; at impact they approximated it was like my head hitting a block wall head-on going 60mph.

I fractured my C1 vertebrae in 3 places, which could have been fatal, or I could have been paralyzed for life, but instead I lived, and am NOT paralyzed. Never lose sight of your TRUE blessings and just how much you have to be grateful for. Your life can change in a blink of an eye, as can the lives of those you love and care about. Never take anything or anyone for granted ...

No matter what you are going through, it can always be worse. Never take for granted even one breath, not one blink of an eye, as that is all it takes to make a difference, good or bad.
