    Yes and remember well the feeling when it was not- made life very sweet but also brought home how transient. [​IMG]

    I'm glad to be alive every day - especially Sundays when I can go to church and do my thing with the flags!!! (Don't ask - it's crazy!)

    Always glad to be alive, even when I'm sitting indoors because it's pouring with rain outside. [​IMG]

    Eat dessert first. Splendid idea, that was the only way my mum could persuade me to eat dinner when I was small, (not a problem now).

    21 years old, thousands of miles from home, in a lift, in freefall; the look on the face of the other passenger is still clear in my mind & he probably still has nightmares about mine !
    Given the choice, I'll always take the stairs.

    It is a great thing life a gift indeed. I have never understood why one is here at all if my parents had not met would I still be here food for thought. some things there may not be an answer to. On a clear night the stars.
