and... Exhale

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away...

So what will your day bring?

It’s a Tuesday Morning and a man wakes up feeling refreshed and motivated to start his day... morning coffee and his usual conference calls then off to the field to walk some sites.  A typical day and if anything, feeling elated to get out of town later that week for a loved one’s birthday.  He had mindfully planned to treat his lady to a special dinner and paint the town red! 

In one moment’s time everything changed.  He was hit and his life would never be the same.  He was hit... and by noon instead of grabbing a quick lunch, time was passing by in the Trauma Center at the E.R.  Just like that... in a flash life changed... his next few days slip in and out, anticipating surgery.  He is unable to walk and the simple things we take for granted like going to the bathroom and brushing teeth are goals for him... and that weekend away with his lady will not be had any time soon.

Each day is a miracle of healing and a will to do now what’s needed to be done to redeem what once was a “given”...his new job is going to be rehab and meeting with physical therapists to learn how to walk again... there is no doubt he will gain his stride in the future but for now, and ever since that Tuesday morning... time has slowed down and his days have become different...

So...I wonder what your day will bring?

Take time to be present because you just never know when life will hit you.
