NOT DEAD YET
.
“Nine years ago I was given a second chance at life, the gift of one more breath, one more moment to love everyone and embrace the moment. So far that equals a second chance at 3,285 days, 78,840 hours, 4,730,400 seconds. And at a rate of about 22,000 breaths a day the math equates to 72,270,000 bonus breaths. Life is precious. Live in the moment. Be grateful for every day, every hour, every second, every breath is a gift. In every moment seize the opportunity to love everyone always.

Live today as if it were your last. Tomorrow is not promised.” — Rick Bisson
