We all do the same thing every day.

We all get up and go to the bathroom, go to the kitchen, have coffee or tea, etc., then go to work or school or college or whatever we do.

Then — BANG! — something happens, affecting our lives.

This when we all need to realize how lucky we are. Health is love. We must change our attitude to positive and not take life for granted.

Wake up people, we are not perfect. I am perfect — a perfect mess. I also have bad days and good days and in-between days.

I just lost my best friend of many years, my dog “Maddy.” I felt self pity. I asked myself why did Maddy leave me? Then one day I realized he lived a healthy, happy life with me for many years.

Does money really make our lives happy? Yes! We all need it to survive. But, our families, friends and our pets need to realize and wake up: We all need each other.

Put down your smart phones. Turn off your computers. Look around you and say to yourself: “How lucky am I to be healthy and loved!”
