I just had a heart attack...so?
My heart stopped...and?
I had 2 minutes of CPR...big deal!

That is kind of how I see my conversation with "Miss D." going.

Is she a heartless wench?
(Thank you Ferris Beuler)

Nope....SHE is dealing with:
- Suffering from the flu
- Sending her husband to the hospital with the flu
- Waiting for her power to come back on
- Helping a friend whose house burned down

...and all of this in the last 36 hours.

Oh, and she runs a business and her husband suffers from a chronic disorder on TOP of the flu.

Yet, this lady is the Zenith that calms so many others. She is strong and brings people to their centers, just by her nature.

I wonder if she'll make it to the YMCA to coach the TWO soccer teams she has.

Miss D. reminded me that it can always be worse, that I better not feel sorry for myself, and that I need to hit PT even harder rtomorrow. No one is going to make me more healthy, no one is going to carry me through life, and no one but me is going to make sure I use my second chance to make to make the world better for those around me.

Thanks Miss D. I appreciate the support, the inspiration and the kick in the pants. Know that the Donahue family stands ready to help you in what ever way we can.

Before I sign off, I want to do one more shout-out to my sister who decided it would be a good idea to start taking her cholesterol medicine again....
Keep it up sis! Take care of yourself 'cause I ain't ready to be watching anyone else grab their chest any time soon.

Good night and God bless.
