Just another day. We all wonder what the days events we will encounter what we will be doing and or who will we be doing it with. Life just seems to go by in a humdrum sort of fashion. That is until something happens like on a day in February of last year. I woke up on a Sunday mourning choking and gasping for air. I had aspirated some stomach acid into my lungs. I felt as though I was on fire on the inside I couldn't talk and it was nearly impossible to call an ambulance but somehow it got done. I remember that the rescue personnel were extremely frantic when they arrived but not much else after that. Ten days later I woke up after being in a medically induced coma and on a respirator fighting for my life. I was the weakest I had ever been I had to learn how to walk again, I had to have help sitting up and standing as well. I was a complete mess. But I managed to get through it all a little worse for the wear but as each day came and went I got stronger and stronger. As the one year anniversary approaches I look back at how I took life for such granted. I promised my self I wouldn't do that again that I was going to explore life more to be more compassionate to be more adventurous and to seek out my dreams and the things I wanted to get done. This after all is not just another day, it's a day to enjoy life to the fullest and to find friends to enjoy it with. So take my advice if you will from someone who was as close to death as you can get. Don't let this be just another day.
