Forever changed by surviving a traumatic illness and are grateful for every breath and every rose you smell?

Question

Do you now have inside you a gift of thankfulness and are able to see life as a gift, even the tiniest of things. Do people who have never experienced this annoy you because their shallowness and negativity try to steal this most awesome joy. When they complain about things that are so unimportant bug you? I want to be patient with people like this, but don't know how. I feel like I have seen into a realm that most people have never seen. I wonder if there is someone else that has felt this way.

Answer 1

You have been blessed with a unique perspective of life.
You should feel free to share that with people (here on this forum and maybe in a book).
You can help people grow and mature more by helping us to see things from a different perspective.

Answer 2

A Picture of Life.

A picture paints a thousand words, or so the lyrics say,
But the one that I hold dearest, in a most peculiar way,
Is a photograph of sunset that I took last year,
And the message that it sent to me that brought a mournful fear.

It warned me that a great day must always pass on by,
A week, a month and even years are times that somehow fly.
And if we waste one moment, of this most precious gift,
The years unfold, we’ll soon be old, and never notice it.

So greet tomorrow’s sunrise and praise the breaking day,
Then bow your head, a prayer said, no need to kneel to pray.
And thank your God, for the gift of life, and never waste such time,
Then you’ll know why, the years they fly, for you and yours and mine.
