Yes, I do appreciate things more now -- the right things. Friendships, relationships, with the right people. That includes all of you here in DB as well. I also value a more personal, more meaningful R with God. And that makes all the difference.
Life is not perfect, but then I don't expect it to be. Partly because I am all too conscious of our human fallibility ... and partly because I know that Eternity will be perfect, that takes the pressure off of the now.
I'm probably not making much sense. Too much sleep deprivation.
