This has been my day, my “Personal New Year”.
One year ago today, I had open-heart surgery at age 32 to repair a life-threatening aneurysm. It all happened so quickly but today – today especially – I see how far I’ve come, how much good is inside me, how blessed and grateful I am and how much I have to offer this world, so much still to do. The universe realized this and saw to it that I survived, that my heart was repaired and kept beating. I don’t know what all I still have to do or want to do or what the Universe has in store for me but I’m realizing and learning and discovering. Slowly, sometimes painfully.
Always gratefully.
