It's called being blessed.

I’m frequently reminded of the fragility of life. Especially when there’s a natural disaster. Tens of thousands of lives wiped out in one big swoop. Some of us are lucky. Some aren’t. I’m amazed that I’ve survived 75 years, and counting. It’s an incredible achievement. Near the top of my list of accomplishments. And believe me, I needed lots of assistance and luck getting this far. Helps to be in the right place at the right time. Anyway, I appreciate all the time and good fortune that I can get. It’s called being blessed. –Jim Broede
