Here's an excercize we all can do. Check out the L'Chaim site put up by Frank Darcy. Set an alarm for 8:00pm local time on May 1, 2008. Lift a glass to survival and to remembrance.
So many of us have lost loved ones to cancer and other causes this year. Yet many of us are surviving cancer or other possibly fatal diseases and the treatments to make us well or at least comfortable. We need to stop periodically and pay tribute to ourselves for just being here. We need to reflect on the happy times with our loved ones who have graduated out of their mortality. On May 1, at 8:00pm I intend to lift my glass.
Our quote for the day is from Frank Darcy:
It would be a time that we can all share, and say L'Chaim - To Life!
A time to say that despite it all, we're still here,
A time to say that we still doing the dance of life,
A time to remember those we lost,
A time to give the finger to death.
So come join the celebration and toast L'Chaim - To Life!
