Doug's blog: "???"

What we have? Question is what could we learn to live without? We have 2 eyes to see with, suppose you were to loose that gift, do you think you could go throught the rest of your life not ever seeing again, or would you just give up and call it the end? 2 ears to hear with, suppose you lost that ability to hear the things in the world around you? Would you live with that or call it the end? 2 arms and 2 legs, suppose you lost the ability to feel ,or to walk again or to touch a pretty face or hold a warm hand, to hold a loved one, to get on a bike and ride again,or just walk around a park, or just plain walk anywhere. Would you live with that or  just  give it up and call it the end? these are things we never think about in our lives from day to day. Today on my way home i passed a park, got out and went and sit at a table and watched some kids playing, some follks walking around for exercise, kids having a good time. A good friend of mine was diagnosed with tongue cancer a few years back, from medicine he was taking for acid reflux.He said it was gods will for that to happen to him with all the chemo and stuff he is cleared now. One thing he told me, and i will never forget it, "he said he would rather have his arm or a body part get cut off rather than loose his ability to taste things" you eat something and cannot taste it but remember how good it taste, but cannot taste. He said that was one of the worst  things he has ever experirnced in his life so far.So always be grateful that you have your health, you may not have all the finner things in life but the most important thing is your health. We all have our problems and we all have decisions we have to make in life, a decision you make today can affect your life from now to the end. Take a little time and stop the routine of your life for just a few minutes look around at people and places, and be thankful for the things that you have. I myself will start looking at things in a different way and think about the things i have and the choices i have to make in life that can affect my life from here on out. We only get one life so make the best out of it and be very thankful for what we have.  Thank you for reading this and if you enjoyed it or not feel free to leave a comment or not.   D.B.
