Six is a sweet number. Just like 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. As a survivor of a near-fatal heart attack, I am glad to be celebrating the sixth anniversary of my new life. It is a blessing to have these bonus years. I sometimes wonder if I am wasting them or not doing enough with them. But as someone told me you can’t hurry life so why try to live as if you have pressed the fast-forward button. 2013 was a year which spiraled out of control — work, travel, life and just human anxiety made me appreciate the value of time a little less. I am hoping to change that.

In 33 days I will be celebrating the beginning of my 3rd bonus year, cancer for me, and I was just thinking this morning how easy it is for people to forget that it’s really a countdown. Time for us is not infinite and it’s so much better to appreciate this moment rather than wish it away for a better one.
Fist Bump and Good luck to you Tracy. Keep on trucking. I am glad you are feeling strong and positive!
Congratulations on your sixth year anniversary! My husband had a near fatal medical condition on Labor Day 2008. Every year we celebrate his new life, and he’s coming up on six years as well. I’m sure your sixth year will be wonderful. As my husband reminds me, every day is a gift!
To the next six. And the ones that follow. And to being able to manage your analog timeline better. From someone who’s a year into his second six. All the best.
You are my role model amigo 🙂
Congratulations on becoming – and staying – conscious of how precious our time is. Good luck with the next 6 days, weeks, months, years…. decades?
Thanks Chris.
Here’s to more 6’s to come. How are you planning on keeping 2014 and subsequent years from going out of control. Your choices will influence and impact many, hence is the ask.
Thanks Sriram
Hard to fathom that we almost lost you to a heart attack. So glad you are still here sharing your wit and wisdom. You are living proof that nice guys can finish first…and come back from tragedy. Celebrate responsibly 🙂
Time is a servant to vibration, when they are not both boholden to space.
