I've always liked Saturday mornings with more time for the extra cup of coffee, time to sit and chat for a few extra minutes and a genuinely more leisurely way of life. It's great to have a day when things are not so regimented by time constraints. And this Saturday morning is especially wonderful to me since I spent the last four days sick in bed. It seems that all of my community involvement over the last several years finally caught up with me and on Tuesday as we prepared for the final decision on our efforts to save some of rural Florida, a royal case of bronchitis and fever smacked me between the eyes. Well, I made it through the public hearing and, alas, we were victorious (at least in the short run) but when I got home I just fell into bed and stayed there until yesterday afternoon.
Oh, I'll be fine, the doctor said I just needed some antibiotics and more rest, but it was a miserable several days because I hate staying in bed. And I could look outside and see the beautiful blue sky and just wanted to be up and about in a normal fashion. So today is my first day in a while where I feel as if I'm alive and getting my strength back, and it also makes me realize how fortunate I am to be in general good health and not find myself in a sickbed often.
I will now try to get back in the groove on my blog and my blogtalk radio shows but will keep my pace slow for a few days. Then it will be back on full tilt with politics, local community affairs and the general story of life including the love and care of our animal friends here on our rural land. Oh, precious life, a wondrous gift that we are so graciously given and so often just take for granted. But the past few days have reminded me that life can change very fast and for that very reason we should never waste a day of our precious time on this earth. And with today being one of those days when we have more options on what to do, what will we do with it?
While we ponder over our first cup of joe and the rooster crows, think about it. Remember, today could be your last. Live it accordingly. Live it like there is no tomorrow. Happy Saturday and God bless you all.
