Able to grasp precious moments.

Every day is a new day. I can start with a clean slate. Brimming with confidence. That everything will be all right.  I'm refreshed. Rejuvenated. After a good night's sleep. I've cleansed my mind. Yesterday was a good day, too. I remember only the good stuff. A sign. That I'm in a proper frame of mind. I've been told. By a friend. That I'm seldom if ever in depression. That my problem is with my own mortality. Yes, that could be true. But all I care about today. Is that I'm alive. And conscious. Able to reflect. On the wonderful nature of life. Able to grasp precious moments. --Jim Broede
