Those were the words I heard at the conference yesterday. I sat in on a presentation by the Chief Psychiatrist of Alberta in Banff. His presentation was OK; his slides were his speaking notes and he spoke with a monotone voice. I was kind of falling asleep when I heard him say "I have only one year to live".
He was speaking about a cancer patient he met last year. He went on to explain that his patient went on to "beat cancer" and is now doing well; he will live longer than one year. This patient then went on to explain to the good doctor that he was lucky when he was originally told he only had one year to live. The patient told the doctor that everyone, at least once in their life time, should be told that they only had a one year to live. It is a gift for living.
When the doctor told is that story, I think I had a small spiritual awakening. I felt lucky to have gone through my experience with the monster last year. I felt alive and so sensitive to the spiritual world. I told the Big Guy this morning that I am grateful to be alive. I am trying to enjoy every day.
Lets see what happens!
