Throwback Thursday, I try to value each day and that has come from many things. Parts of my upbringing and beliefs help to shape my gratitude for being able to open my eyes in the morning. But another reason is that my life very nearly ended when I was seventeen. After being told I came within a couple of hours of death really helped open my eyes to how lucky it is to be alive. Embrace each day as it comes and do things to make other people’s days better and that will help to make your day better too. #tbt #swordfighting #burstappendix #peritonitis #didntevenknow #luckytobealive #grateful
